Welcome to Yangon, Burma
Four million people walk the streets of Yangon, also known as Rangoon, the former capital of Burma. An overwhelming city that is full of helping hands, curious smiles, decaying buildings, and beautiful monasteries, and yet still remains to be the largest city in Myanmar.
Whether one comes to Burma for trekking, spiritual indulgence, or volunteer reasons most will begin their journey in Yangon. This is a place to change over money, book tickets to further your journey, and get acquainted with the culture.
Walking around the city will show you the diversity within one place. Run down buildings stand next to beautiful Buddha statues ordained with precious gems. Poverty can be seen next to a booming food stall. Yangon is just the start of what this amazing country has to offer you.
