Book airline flights to Yangon on CheapoAir.com and take off for a relaxing vacation in the ‘Garden City of the East.’ One of Asia’s best kept secrets, the gateway to Myanmar is an interesting experience for most westerners. Yangon is not a typical country capital. Here, the streets are mostly occupied by bicycles and vehicles dating back to the 40’s, 50’s and the 60’s; as if you’re transported back in time! Spend idyllic days, walking under the shade of tropical trees that border the boulevards in Yangon. There are countless immaculately manicured parks inviting you to soak up some greenery. Yangon dates back more than 2,500 years and is a fascinating city. On a sightseeing tour of Yangon, the first places to go are the Buddhist shrines and statues of Buddha. Besides, you can see the Allied War Memorial, the Independence Monument and the Aquarium. Take a trip to the Hlawga Wildlife Park and enjoy your time riding on an elephant’s back, boating, fishing and viewing the diverse wildlife. If you’re fascinated by gems and jewelry, the Myanmar Gems Museum and Gems Market is a must for you. Here, you can see the world’s largest sapphire that weighs more than 12 kg!
If you want to sample the local cuisine, hop into one of the many restaurants. You won’t be disappointed. There are a lot of tasty Chinese, Japanese, Italian and French foods to choose from. The Bogyoke Aung San Market is the best place to shop for gifts and souvenirs. |
