Why Fly to Yangon, Myanmar?

Yangon International Airport (RGN) connects via Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and other Asian hubs. Most US travelers connect through Bangkok (BKK) or Singapore (SIN). From Yangon you can fly domestically to the extraordinary Bagan (1.5h — the plain of 2,000+ Buddhist temples, one of Asia’s greatest archaeological landscapes), Inle Lake (1h — the extraordinary floating gardens and stilt villages of Shan State), and Mandalay (1h — the last royal capital of Burma, the Mandalay Hill monastery complex).

Shwedagon Pagoda — Myanmar’s Holiest Monument
The Shwedagon Pagoda — Myanmar’s most sacred Buddhist site, its 98m zedi (stupa) covered in 60 tonnes of gold leaf, its tip crowned with a diamond orb set with 4,531 diamonds and 1,485 rubies, surrounded by an extraordinary terraced complex of 82 smaller stupas, pavilions, meditation halls, and shrines — is one of Asia’s most transcendently beautiful sacred spaces. Visit at dawn for the extraordinary gold shimmer in the first light, and again at sunset when the stupa turns from gold to orange to crimson.
Colonial Yangon — Southeast Asia’s Finest Victorian Architecture
Downtown Yangon’s colonial district — the largest intact collection of British colonial architecture in Southeast Asia, with extraordinary Victorian and Edwardian commercial buildings (the High Court, the Secretariat building where General Aung San was assassinated in 1947, the Strand Hotel, the former railway station) surviving largely undeveloped — is one of Asia’s most remarkable and most endangered architectural landscapes, its peeling facades and atmospheric decay creating a time-capsule quality impossible to replicate.
Bagan — Plain of 2,000 Temples (1.5h by air)
Bagan (1.5h domestic flight from Yangon) — the extraordinary plain of 2,000+ Buddhist temples, pagodas, and monasteries built between the 11th and 13th centuries by the kings of the Pagan Empire, stretching 40km along the Irrawaddy River — is one of Asia’s most extraordinary and most visually overwhelming archaeological landscapes: hot air balloon at sunrise over the temple plain (the most extraordinary single travel experience in Southeast Asia), cycling between stupas, and the extraordinary Ananda Temple (the Sistine Chapel of Burmese Buddhist architecture).
Bogyoke Aung San Market — Colonial Bazaar
Bogyoke Aung San Market (Scott Market, Yangon) — a 1926 colonial-era market building of extraordinary atmospheric quality, its covered arcades housing hundreds of stalls selling Burmese lacquerware, jade, rubies, sapphires, silk longyi fabric, thanaka cosmetic paste, and extraordinary Burmese puppets — is Yangon’s finest shopping experience and the best single place in Myanmar to purchase authentic Burmese crafts and gemstones.
Yangon Food Culture — Mohinga & Tea House Culture
Yangon’s food culture is one of Asia’s most distinctive and most underrated — mohinga (the national dish of Myanmar: a rich fish-based noodle soup with lemongrass, ginger, and crispy fritters, eaten for breakfast at street stalls throughout the city), the extraordinary Burmese tea house culture (sweet milk tea and a dozen small dishes of fried beans, samosas, and steamed dumplings for the price of a cup), and the extraordinary 19th Street Beer Street barbecue district create a food city of extraordinary character.
