Yangon Arrival - City tour
Upon arrival the former capital Myanmar - Yangon, you will be warmly welcomed by our guides and transferred to your hotel for check-in. On the way to your hotel you can easily see that Yangon's infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in Southeast Asia, but it has the largest number of colonial buildings in the region today. After checking in at your hotel, we will begin our tour of the city. It doesn't take a long time for tourists to be fascinated by the lush green park, picturesque lakes, and the charming people.
First destination is Chaukhtatgyi Temple which has one of the biggest and most graceful Reclining Buddha statues in South East Asia. Then we move to the Sule Pagoda which is Myanmar's oldest pagoda of 2,500 years old. To complete the city tour, let's climb up the Shwedagon Pagoda to enjoy the sunset and breathtaking beauty of the plain below.
