  • A Myanmar Discovery, 6 Days MY-SIC-21 YANGON - BAGAN - MANDALAY - INLE LAKE
    A Myanmar Discovery, 6 days MY-SIC-21 YANGON - BAGAN - MANDALAY - INLE LAKE Day 1 Yangon Sightseeing in Yangon Yangon lies in the fertile delta of southern Myanmar, on the wide Yangon River. The city is filled with tree-shaded boulevards, while shimmering stupas float above the treetops. The city became the capital only in 1885, when the British completed the conquest of Upper Myanmar and Mandalay's brief period as capital of the last Burmese kingdom ended. Visit Sule Pagoda Sule Pagoda is a 48 metre high golden dome used by the British as the nucleus of their grid development plan for the city when it was rebuilt in the 1880s. The pagoda's peculiarity is its octagonal-shaped stupa, which retains its shape as it tapers to the spire. Visit Kandawgyi (Royal) Lake Kandawgyi Lake, also known as the Royal Lake, is a natural body of water located in the city centre and a good place for strolling and picnics. The lake is attractive at sunset when the glittering Shwedagon pagoda is reflected in its calm waters. Visit Chaukhtatgyi Pagoda The reclining Buddha at Chaukhtatgyi Pagoda in Yangon which is almost as large as the enormous figure of Shwethalyaung Buddha in Bago. It's housed in a large metal-roofed shed on Shwegondaing Lan, only a short distance north-east beyond the Shwedagon Paya.
