Top Places to Visit in Yangon: Pagodas, Lake & Market

Traveling to Yangon is one of the top activities to do in Myanmar tourism, as Myanmar has a lot of culture, history, and religion. The famous Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, an iconic attraction and the most religious Buddhist place in Myanmar, is in the city. The old Sule Pagoda in Yangon, placed in the middle of the city center and covered by colonial buildings, is another big attraction. Visitors also like the calm Kandawgyi Lake in Yangon, which is a beautiful place to walk and take pictures of the golden stupa reflection. The Bogyoke Aung San Market in Yangon is the best place to shop as it has traditional crafts, gemstones, clothes, and souvenirs. These tourist spots in Yangon are a great place to learn about Myanmar's traditions and culture.
