1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #204 - Landmarks of Yangon, Myanmar

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #204

- 3 Landmarks of Yangon, Myanmar

(These 3 other Yangon landmarks were distinctive in their own rights. The Karaweik Palace is actually a floating barge built on a lake, with a pagoda-like structure on its top. Very intricate design and worth a closer look. The Strand Hotel is an icon, built by the same Sarkies brothers who built Raffles Hotel, thus the strong look-and-feel..including the U$500 a night pricetag. The Bogyoke Market is where you go for all the touristy handicrafts before your depart Yangon. Don't forget to order a morning cuppa local coffee and sit by the roadside of a corner food stall, and watch a typical Myanmar morning go by, including this parade of young Buddhist monks)
