Yangon (Burmese: ရန်ကုန်; MLCTS: rankun mrui, pronounced [jàŋɡòũ mjo̰]; also known as Rangoon) is a former capital of Burma and the capital of Yangon Division. Although the military government has officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw since March 2006,[3] Yangon, with a population of four million, continues to be the country's largest city and the most important commercial center.
Yangon's infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in Southeast Asia. Yangon has the largest number of colonial buildings in Southeast Asia today.[4] While many high-rise residential and commercial buildings have been constructed or renovated throughout downtown and Greater Yangon in the past two decades, most satellite towns that ring the city continue to be deeply impoverished.
The largest and best maintained parks in Yangon are located around Shwedagon Pagada. To the southeast of the gilded stupa is the most popular recreational area in the city Kandawgyi Lake. The 150 acre (60.7-hectare) lake is surrounded by the 110 acre (44.5-hectare) Kandawgyi Nature Park,[24] and the 69.25 acre (28-hectare) Yangon Zoological Gardens, which consists of a zoo, an aquarium and an amusement park.[25] West of the pagoda towards the former Hluttaw (Parliament) complex is the 130 acre (53-hectare) Peoples Square and People's Park, (the former parading ground on important national days when Yangon was the capital.)[26] A few miles north of the pagoda lies the 37 acre (15-hectare) Inya Lake Park a favorite hangout place of Yangon University students, and a well-known place of romance in Burmese popular culture.
Hlawga National Park and Allied War Memorial at the outskirts of the city are popular day-trip destinations with the well-to-do and tourists.

Footage from a bus (and boat) trip in Burma during the rainy season. In this first episode we visit temples and restaurants in and around Rangoon. We see the locals walking, cycling or paddling the flooded sidewalks and small side streets, practically dressed in sarong and carrying their lunch in even more practical metal food containers. The temples and Burmese style Buddha statues we visit in this episode are: the Kyautan Island Pagoda, the Chaukhatgyi Buddha Temple, the Shwethalyaung Buddha Temple, the Kya Khat Wine Monastery, and the Shwemawdaw Pagoda.

Although the military government has officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw since March 2006,[3] Yangon, with a population of four million, continues to be the country's largest city and the most important commercial center.
Yangon's infrastructure is relatively undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in Southeast Asia. Yangon has the largest number of colonial buildings in Southeast Asia today.[4] While many high-rise residential and commercial buildings have been constructed or renovated throughout downtown and Greater Yangon in the past two decades, most satellite towns that ring the city continue to be deeply impoverished.
Yangon was founded as Dagon in the 6th century AD by the Mon, who dominated Lower Burma at that time. Dagon was a small fishing village centered about the Shwedagon Pagoda. In 1755, King Alaungpaya conquered Dagon, renamed it Yangon, and added settlements around Dagon. The British captured Yangon during the First Anglo-Burmese War (182426) but returned it to Burmese administration after the war. The city was destroyed by a fire in 1841.[5]
The largest and best maintained parks in Yangon are located around Shwedagon Pagada. To the southeast of the gilded stupa is the most popular recreational area in the city Kandawgyi Lake.

Yangon Myanmar trip
ทริปไหว้พระ ชมเมืองย่างกุ้ง
2014 01 Myanmar
Highlights of an eight-day trip to Bagan, Myanmar, walking and riding bicycles, electric scooters and horse-carts among the more than 3,000 temples and pagodas along the Irrawaddy River.
Travel Myanamar 2016 - Short trip to Yangon
Travel to Myanamar, so we are a young couple on a short 3 day trip to Yangon.
Take in a Temple. Cradled by the Irrawaddy River the plain of Bagan is strewn with temples dating back to the birth of the Hindu religion, the stone-built relics of a long-lost city. Atmospherically mouldering in the tropical heat this is Burma's answer to Angkor Wat
Meet the Leg-Boatmen. On the still waters of Inle Lake the fishermen propel their narrow dugout canoes by paddling an oar with one leg. Catch them throwing their nets at dawn, framed by stilted monasteries and the surrounding hills
Join the Pilgrims. Rangoon's Schwedagon Pagoda is the spiritual heart of the country, and always busy with devotees offering alms. Light your own candle and pray for change to come to Burma
Return to Mandalay. The low-rise, low-key capital of Mandalay is a charming, slow-moving city, where local cafes are furnished with tiny child-sized stools, imported goods are rarely seen and everything is hand-made. The cracked stupa at Mingun is a short boat-ride up the river
Climb Rock Mountain. The temple at Kyaiktyo is perched on top of a rock outcrop that towers over the surrounging plain. Steep steps gain access to a holy place where fine views make contemplation easy
Chill on the beach. Burma's beaches on the Bay of Bengal have scarcely been developed. Visit Ngapali and find white-sand beaches more used to drying shrimp than sun-loungers, with fishy snacks fresh from the sea
MYANMAR: EXPLORING THE BIGGEST PYRAMID AND BUDDHIST TEMPLE IN BAGAN
#VicStefanu
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the magnificent Dhammayangyi Temple which is a Buddhist temple located in Bagan, Myanmar. Largest of all the temples in Bagan, the Dhammayan as it is popularly known was built during the reign of King Narathu (1167-1170) who who came to the throne by assassinating his father Alaungsithu and his elder brother, presumably built this largest temple to atone for his sins. The Dhammayangyi is the widest temple in Bagan. Bagan is an ancient city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar. From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Pagan Kingdom, the first kingdom that unified the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar.
Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a Southeast Asian nation of more than 100 ethnic groups, bordering India, Bangladesh, China, Laos and Thailand. Yangon (formerly Rangoon), the country's largest city, is home to bustling markets, numerous parks and lakes, and the towering, gilded Shwedagon Pagoda, which contains Buddhist relics and dates to the 6th century.

Myanmar's Suu Kyi returns home from Thailand
(3 Jun 2012) Myanmar's opposition leader, the Nobel prize-winner Aung San Suu Kyi completed her first trip abroad in 24 years on Sunday.
For years she had refused government offers of an exit visa for fear she would not be allowed back into her homeland.
Suu Kyi, wearing her trade-mark flowers in her hair, smiled broadly as she walked through Yangon's airport, escorted by senior officials from her opposition party and surrounded by reporters, photographers and news crews.
She waved to fellow passengers and told reporters that her six-day trip to neighbouring Thailand was very satisfactory.
The longtime political prisoner's trip was viewed as proof of her confidence in Myanmar's new civilian government, whose political reforms contrast starkly with that of the former military junta.
Suu Kyi, who spent 15 years of the last two decades under house arrest, used her trip to highlight the plight of her compatriots abroad - from exploited migrant workers who moved to Thailand in search of jobs to war refugees who fled across the border in search of peace.
Suu Kyi stole the spotlight at the World Economic Forum on East Asia, delivering her first speech before an international audience since becoming Myanmar's crusader for democracy in 1988.
She cautioned against what she called reckless optimism in Myanmar's political reform process. She said she trusted President Thein Sein's commitment to reforms but noted that the military is still a force to be reckoned with.
It was unclear to what extent her trip rankled Thein Sein, who was due to attend the forum but abruptly cancelled when word leaked that Suu Kyi would also be there.
In mid-June Suu Kyi departs begins the next leg of her international travels with a five-country tour to Europe that includes stops in Geneva, Oslo, Dublin, London and Paris.
Among the highlights will be a visit to Norway to formally accept the Nobel Peace Prize she was awarded in 1991.

Walking Around Yangon (Myanmar)
Yangon is slowly changing since my first visit in 2014 e.g. there are now modern shopping malls and some of the important heritage buildings are being restored......
Join Alexis on a fun day trip to Haw Par Villa in Singapore. Warning: Place is eerie at times...
The Origins of Haw Par Villa
One of the oldest existing cultures in the world today, Chinese history stretches back across millennia and is filled with fascinating stories. History buffs looking to journey through the richness of Chinese tradition and religious beliefs should pay a visit to Haw Par Villa, an Asian cultural park that’s a repository of folklore and storied myths.
Located on a hill in Pasir Panjang, Haw Par Villa was once known as Tiger Balm Gardens. Lovingly built by Myanmar-born businessman Aw Boon Haw for his brother, Aw Boon Par, the park was named after the Tiger Balm medical ointment that the siblings’ father had created.
Following its construction in 1937, the grounds of the villa were opened to the public, reflecting Boon Haw’s deep passion for Chinese culture and mythology. Boon Haw personally supervised the artisans who created many of the parks original fixtures, in the hope that the park’s depiction of traditional virtues would provide moral guidance to the public.
When war broke out, the Aw family fled Singapore for Yangon (then known as Rangoon). The park was used as an observation point by the Japanese army, and it was only in the post-war years that Aw Boon Haw returned to Singapore, and began to rebuild the park.
From the 1940s to the 1970s, many members of the Aw family contributed to the park’s development. This included Boon Par’s son, Aw Cheng Chye, who made various additions to the park’s dioramas. His passion for travel led to the establishment of the park’s International Corners, which pay tribute to the cultures of the many countries he visited.
The space began to take its modern form in 1985 when the Singapore Tourism Board took over the management of the grounds and began revitalization work on the space. The park’s dynamic evolution continues to this current day.
Otherworldly experiences
Haw Par Villa is famous for its vivid depictions of the Ten Courts of Hell from Chinese folklore. Many Singaporeans will cheekily reminisce about being brought there as children by their parents, to learn about the exacting nature of traditional Chinese morality.
Besides its trademark attraction, the cultural park is home to over 1,000 statues and 150 dioramas, depicting surreal scenes from legendary works of Chinese literature such as Journey To The West, Madame White Snake, and the stories of the Eight Immortals.
Modern Tours, Ancient Traditions
While the personal exploration of Haw Par Villa is rewarding in its own right, those looking to delve deep into the stories of Haw Par Villa should consider taking the tours provided by the park.
Culture lovers should check out ‘Finding Your Tao In Haw Par Villa: The Tiger Balm Garden Story’. The tour weaves the history of the park with the intriguing stories of Chinese folklore and philosophy. Alternatively, bold seekers of knowledge should pay a visit to Haw Par Villa at twilight, with ‘Journeys To Hell - Death And Afterlife in Haw Par Villa’. This tour focuses on the dioramas depicting the infamous Ten Courts of Hell and will prove to be both riveting and revelatory.
Tickets to the former can be purchased at Haw Par Villa Visitor Centre, while tickets to the latter tour can be booked here.
Visitor discretion and parental guidance are advised for visitors to the “Ten Courts of Hell” due to the graphic nature of the exhibits. Admission to the park is free.

DJI Osmo Pocket - Yangon, Myanmar - 4K Cinematic
On a recent trip to Yangon in Myanmar (Burma), I had a chance to properly test out my DJI Osmo Pocket.
Overall, I was pretty pleased with the way it worked. Its small size was its greatest strength. The Pocket is easy to carry around and doesn't draw attention to you filming or make people feel too awkward. Above all, because it was so it quick and easy to use, I was able to film lots of footage and still enjoy the time with my family.
Yangon itself is a fascinating city with a great deal of character and some breathtaking sights. The people were friendly, if a little shy and the food was delicious.
Some of the places featured in the video are: -
Shwedagon Pagoda
Sule Pagoda
Bogyoke Aung San Market (Scott Market)
Inya Lake
Maha Bandula Park
St Mary's Cathedral
Ministers' Building
Aung San Suu Kyi House
China Town
Yangon Central Railway Station
Taukkyan War Cemetery
The music used is the 1991 track 'Belfast' by Orbital.
