2° Day : Yangon
Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, is the capital of the Yangon region and the commercial capital of
Myanmar (also known as Burma). Yangon was the administrative capital of
Myanmar until 2006, when the military government transferred administrative
functions to the city of Naypyidaw, which was built specifically for central Burma.
With over 7 million people, Yangon is the largest city in Myanmar and its most
important commercial center.
Yangon boasts the largest number of colonial-era buildings in Southeast Asia,
and has a unique colonial-era urban core that is remarkably intact. The
commercial core of the colonial era is centered around the Sule Pagoda, which is reputed to be over 2,000
years old. The city is also home to the Golden Shwedagon Pagoda, the holiest
Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar. The mausoleum of the last Mughal emperor it
is located in Yangon, where he had been exiled following the Indian mutiny of
1857. Yangon was founded as Dagon at the beginning of the 11th century (c.
1028-1043) by the Mon, who at that time dominated Lower Burma. Dagon was
a small fishing village centered around the Shwedagon Pagoda. In 1755, King
Alaungpaya conquered Dagon, renaming it "Yangon" and adding settlements
around Dagon. The British captured Yangon during the First Anglo-Burmese
War (1824-26), but returned it to the Burmese administration after the war. The city was destroyed by fire in
1841.
In the afternoon you will be accompanied by your guide to visit the city, where you will admire:
