Yangon (Burmese: ရန်ကုန်, MLCTS rankun mrui, pronounced: [jàɴɡòʊɴ mjo̰]; also known as Rangoon, literally: "End of Strife") is a former capital of Myanmar (Burma) and the capital of Yangon Region. It also served as the Capital in Exile of Azad Hind. Yangon is the country's largest city with a population of over five million, and is the most important commercial centre, although the military government officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw in March 2006.
Although Yangon's infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in south-east Asia, it has the largest number of colonial buildings in the region today. 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 (ရန်ကုန်) is a combination of the two words yan (ရန်) and koun (ကုန်), which mean "enemies" and "run out of" respectively. It is also translated as "End of Strife". "Rangoon" most likely comes from the British imitation of the pronunciation of "Yangon" in the Arakanese language, which is [rɔ̀ɴɡʊ́ɴ].

Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်) - Probably the most important religious monument and most sacred site in Yangon and throughout Myanmar is the Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်). The golden stupa of the pagoda is covered in gold, and it’s so bright that I you have squint when you look at it. At the top of the pagoda, in the small umbrella looking top, are thousands of gems and diamonds - though it’s pretty challenging to see all the way up there. The Shwedagon Pagoda is a place you must visit when you’re in Yangon. 2. Local Market - One of my favorite things to do in any city I visit about the world is to visit a local fresh market - that’s where life takes place and where the action goes down. There...

Travel video about destination Yangon in Myanmar. Yangon is a river city and the capital of Myanmar. A country surrounded by India, China, Laos and Thailand with a fascinating mêlée of tribes and cultures plus a tranquil harmony of churches, pagodas, Hindu temples and mosques. Here, contrast is all, and that makes Yangon unique!The Chaukhtatkyi Pagoda contains one of the largest prone Buddha statues in the world. Its length makes up for its lack of artistry as it is seventy metres long. Over six hundred monks live in the adjoining monastery that was founded in 1907 for the study of Buddhist scripts that are known as ‘Palikanums’. Three seasons determine the climate of this subtropical country: the cool of winter, the heat of summer and the monsoons when it rains for most of the afternoon a...
Visiting Burma is much easier than it was even just a few years ago. The days of needing to take perfect dollar notes and nothing else are gone. Hope this guide gives you some ideas about what to do, what to expect. It's a fascinating place - but take care crossing the roads.

YANGON, Myanmar—The dart hits a fleeing street dog in the thigh, the bright orange tip sagging against his brown and white fur as he slows to a halt, his limbs succumbing to the sedatives.The mutt is one of more than 100,000 strays that roam the streets of Myanmar’s commercial capital Yangon, sleeping in doorways, nosing through rubbish and barking their challenges to each other late into the night.He is actually one of the lucky ones — the sedated animal is among several hundred that will be vaccinated and neutered during a three-month city campaign in Yangon’s southern Lanmadaw township.

My first visit to Myanmar, in November 2015, was an eye-opener. In public transport terms, this is a land that has yet to discover air-conditioning, emissions regulations, step-free entrances….or Health & Safety of any sort. It’s a glimpse of what Hong Kong was like about 50 years ago. The buses are a motley collection of second-hand vehicles, from Japan and other South-East Asian countries. The fares are ludicrously low and the whole system is starved of investment. Consequently, buses are poorly maintained and breakdowns are a regular occurrence (you will see at least three in this video) and the Burmese people (ever friendly and relaxed) just get on with it. The rule of the road is driving on the right, but curiously most vehicles (including new cars and vans) are right hand d...
Thank you for blessing the road I walk on
That I'm walking on
I'm sorry for every mistake I fall on
Can't help but fall
You've changed this heart in me
And I know, I can always count on you
To give me the signs
In the wind on my face
Each time I try to run
From the sight of your grace
From the wrongs I have done
You shine down your ligh
T each time I need a guide
I say to hearts in despair
There's an answer to a prayer
Give me true love in my life, a peaceful mind
Save me from harm
Pull me back if I ever try to walk away
Don't let me stray
You've changed this heart in me
And I know I can always count on you
To give me the signs
In the wind on my face
Each time I try to run
From the sight of your grace
From the wrongs I have done
You shine down your light
Each time I need a guide
I say to hearts in despair
There's an answer to a prayer
Say to all hearts in despair, there's an answer to a prayer
You've changed this heart in me
And I know I can always count on you
To hear my prayers
You shine down your light
And I know there's an answer to a prayer
You shine down your light
Each time I need a guide
I say to hearts in despair
