Yangon Walking Tours Highlights
Join a Yangon city tour and explore the cultural heart of Myanmar which possesses a distinct charm with a blend of colonial architecture, modern high-rises, and gilded Buddhist pagodas that define its skyline. The city's most iconic landmark is the Shwedagon Pagoda, a spectacular 2,500-year-old site covered in hundreds of gold plates and adorned with thousands of diamonds and other precious gems. It's a central place of worship and is said to enshrine strands of Buddha's hair. Sule Pagoda, located in the heart of downtown Yangon, is another magnificent landmark. This golden pagoda, surrounded by bustling markets and colonial buildings, is a focal point of both Yangon's social and political scene. Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple houses one of the most revered reclining Buddha images, notable for its intricately detailed face expression and adorned robe. Finally, the circular Kandawgyi Lake, with the Karaweik Palace, a ship-like structure floating on its surface, offers a serene escape from the city bustle. The palace, a stunning replica of a royal barge, is a symbol of Burmese craftsmanship and architectural prowess. With all this to see and more, get your walking shoes ready and join us on this incredible journey!
