Yangon
city
is a
oriental metropolis with a strong colonial
times flair, probably the only city in Asia
where substantial remains of the past are
still visible. There
are dozens of
Yangon
city hotels
to make your
Myanmar
travel a
great
experience.
The biggest
hotel in
Yangon is
the Trader
Hotel from
the
Shangri-La
group, the
hotel is
right in the
center of
Yangon,
about 5
minute walk
to the Sule
pagoda and
the same to
the Bogyoke
market,
Bogyoke
market
is the
premier shopping bazaar in the city,
Yangon hotels are close by.
Bangkok to
Yangon
is only one
hour flight,
but the
problem is
the visa,
although the
people in
the Bangkok
embassy work
quite fast,
it always
needs one
night in
Bangkok to
get the
visa. But
all this is
a trade off,
attractions
are waiting
and they are
so great
that you
will tell
yourself, he
why I didn't
came her
more early.
On your
sightseeing
tour of
Yangon and
when you get
hungry after
a busy
travel day
plenty of
restaurants
are around
to get your
stomach
happy. But
be very
careful, the
hygienic
environment
is not very
up to date
in Yangon
and Myanmar
in general.
If you like
some fun,
maybe a
little show
together
with your
dinner have
a look here,
this is a
typical
Yangon
nightlife
restaurant,
a
alternative
would be,
among
others, to
have dinner
in the
Kandawgyi
Palace Hotel.
This
Yangon hotel has a
pretty
location
just on the Kandawgyi
Lake,
several
excellent
restaurants
and in one
of the
restaurants
there is
very
attractive
Myanmar
Dance

Yangon the last King of Myanmar or Burma on the
river.
of Yangon competition |
Yangon faces the Indian Ocean or
rather the Andaman Sea which is a part
of and ships come in by the Yangon River, a part
of the Irrawaddy in the delta and was
visualized through the golden dome of
the Shwedagon pagoda, at colonial times
a mystic object of the golden East.
The Yangon river and further up the
Irrawaddy was navigable for about
1300 km during British colonial times,
now maybe 100 km, because nobody takes
care about the shifting sandbanks. The
Irrawaddy or Ayeyarwady is the main
artery through which the life-blood of
Myanmar pulses.
Yangon
could be
a great city but actually there are
mega problems like the daily electricity
power cuts etc. at downtown Yangon most
of the day there is no power at all.
There was a time
when the sea ran
into the coast of Myanmar or Burma
much farther than it does to-day ; when
ships anchored at Thaton, the earliest
capital of the south ; when Pegu today
Bago, in later days a gorgeous and
magnificent city was almost itself a
seaport.
There was a time also when the sea
brought less to Myanmar Burma and
took more than it is does today ;
Moreover, there was another city across
the Yangon River, a city which is now
forgotten, whose golden Myanmar is the true
golden Myanmar of the beginnings of Yangon or
Rangoon.
It was at Syriam that Yangon first came
onto the international and colonial map.
Colonialists form Portugal and England
started to move in through the mouth of the river
to
Yangon. Syriam, according to the Myanmar or
Burmese legend, began its career as
a king's city 887 years before the birth
of Christ. But cities depending on
kings are prone to lapse into
insignificance, and there is practically
nothing known of Syriam till Vasco da Gama
virtually opened the
gates of the East to the West.
- Yangon city,
still show some imperial
architecture. The present day city was
built by the English colonialists,
the result was wide, straight,
streets, with solid architecture of
Victorian style.
Even today several
buildings in Yangon show the
architecture London
had about 200 years ago,
the custom house at the river front
is such a building and there are
several more in the city center. But
they are in decay, nobody does any
renovation to this sometimes
beautiful nostalgic architecture.
The old railway building is a
prototype of neglect. |

Along the Yangon
River runs
the Strand Road with the
famous
Strand Hotel
Yangon on the other side
of the street. The area is always very
busy and large ocean-going
vessels (10 000 to 15
000 tons) are anchored
alongside the banks and in
midstream of the downtown
port area. Its a very
"stinky" area because of the
never ending truck traffic
moving in and out the port
most trucks are
very old, emitting
huge clouds of diesel smoke.
Yangon is the largest
seaport
and river port in
the country. The Yangon port
stretches along from Insein in its north-east
to Botathaung Township and
the mouth of the Pazundaung
Creek in the south-eastern
part of the city. Sampans
are crossing the river and
your Yangon travel wont be
complete without a cruise on
the river, there river tours
with small sightseeing
vessels, the ships are quite
old but still moving.
Where
the Bago River
joins the Yangon River close to Thanlyin or
Syriam was in the
16.th. Century the base
of Philip de Brito a
Portuguese
adventurer who made it
from the kitchen boy of a Portuguese
trading vessel to a local warlord. In 1613
the King of Toungoo joined with the
King of Ava in an effort to destroy Nicote. A great army laid siege to Syriam
- close to today Yangon or Rangoon and
soon made Nicotes position quite desperate. One
of Nicotes officers changed sides,
they got Nicote and impaled him.
The
Yangon River flows southwards and
the murky waters empty into the Gulf of Martaban in the
Andaman Sea, a part of the Indian Ocean.
Along are more than ten
miles of wharves,
jetties, pontoons and
landing stages for every
type of river, coastal or
ocean ship. |
