On arrival at Mingaladon airport , you

as Rangoon has been the capital city only since 1885
although some settlements in this site date back about
2,500 years. This colorful metropolis features an
intriguing mix of the scenes from a bygone era and the
modern tempo of bustling streets punctuated by serene
temples and impressive colonial edifices. After checking
into hotel, we start our city tour, seeing the gilded
Sule Pagoda and the impressive Karaweik Hall on the
Royal Lake. We follow these with a visit to the famous
Shwedagon Pagoda, which dominates the skyline of city.
This masterpiece houses an intricate complex of smaller
pagodas and Buddha images. O/N in Yangon.

Museum with a lovely display of treasures as well
as artefacts reflecting the richness of Burmese culture.
The next stop of our trip is Mahabandoola Park
where the colonial courthouse and the city hall are
standing. Upon leaving this landmark we enjoy a rickshaw
excursion through the colonial area and the famous
