"Rangoon" a Rangoon Travel Page by AndreSTGT

Burma's capital is an interesting and pleasant metropolis with distinct South-East Asian flair, crumbling colonial architecture and golden pagodas.

The main attraction is the deservedly world famous Shwedagon Pagoda whose enormous dimension is only visible once you have ascended the numerous steps to the platform.

Besides visiting the sights, simply lingering through the city's attractive streets and enjoying the atmosphere is very pleasant.
Another worthwhile pastime is to take a walk through Bogyoke Aung San Park and the market of the same name.
The area around Sule Pagoda in the city center is also attractive.
