    a very original way to discover Yangon, an atypical train journey, a little difficult to find again for directions and timetables, but the people are so nice that they will help you to make a pleasant trip

    Very peaceful and always good update of discoverable artists of Myanmar. I like to stroll around the painting alone.

    It is not a tourist pagoda, but the atmosphere of peace and tranquility that is felt in it is special. I recommend a visit ...

    I visited the Strand, mainly to mail postcards at the Post Office. It is certainly a history lesson...., a reminder of the British colonial days with its impressive architecture. The Strand Hotel is quite a place, worth stopping in for a drink.

    To be honest, I was kind of “temples out” after Bagan. The temple is quite small, not crowded, and very interesting - mostly thanks to lots of tiny mirrors everywhere.
    It’s also on the way to Shwendagon pagoda, and it doesn’t take too much time to see it.

    Impressive views of Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. Impressive to see three countries from the top of the river banks. We took a boat ride up river on the Mekong River. Our tour guide explained to us all of its history and significance. You have to pay for this boat ride and when you get off , lots of shops are found.

    This Monument is significant to Myanmar to celebrate independence from being a colony to the British Empire.

    It is located in a nice park.

    This is a great place to view and appreciate the many talented Burmese artists of today. Major works by top artists are represented here. Certainly worth a look for the casual visitor and the serious collector.

    When you see barbed wired gates, red and grey coloured stones, you're in the right place. Go to that huge entrance and see a small ticketing booth. It's 3,000 Myanmar Kyats for foreigners. No brochure given so you really have to read on the History before you visit or simply bring a local friend.

    As you enter after buying your ticket, sign in at security booth. Then, off you go. Unfortunately, not all the stone slabs are written in English and not all of us can read Burmese either. Hence why I personally thought, it'll be nice to have a brochure for record and summarised reading purposes.

    You can take videos and photos in this mausoleum. So you should take a photo at the fallen star by the ground.

    Well. It is well known. You can have some felling about peace. But you will get well better if you know about it's history. Kyaikasan Pagoda of Myanmar, is very beautiful and historic one. Many people come here for praying and meditation. You can see how big and beautiful of pagoda with decoration of Buddhism and Burmese art and tradition.

    The riverside and the jetties arebehind a high wall, with only narrow exits every now and then. We tried the one opposite Phone Gyi Street by Chinatown and were completely overthrown of the longtailboats transfering people to the other side of the river. After an hour or two we realised that there is no connection to the ts1 from this side of the wall from up here but it didnt bother us at all.
    Visit at from 4.30pm until sunset/darkness and youll experience an amazing longtailboat show, that I bet is far more attractive than the art gallery.

    The nuns do take very careful care and are welcoming to visitors. Do visit and stay a while. The discipline is strict, and you will find yourself mentally refreshed.
