#citypassguide #myanmar #yangon Myanmar, one of the least visited countries in Asia, turned out to be a surprisingly rich cultural experience. I spent 5 days exploring the country’s former capital, Yangon, and wanted to share some notes and highlights from my journey. 🏙️ General Impressions Yangon offers a unique mix of colonial architecture, religious diversity, and bustling local life. The city is home to numerous churches, cathedrals, pagodas, as well as shopping malls and street vendors. Despite the heat, you can escape into air-conditioned malls or cool down by the lakeside. 🛍️ Shopping and Modern Life * Junction City
A modern shopping mall filled with international and local brands. A great place to cool off on hot days and enjoy some food and coffee. * Bogyoke Aung San Market
Famous for jewelry vendors and handicrafts. A traditional covered market perfect for buying souvenirs. Closes at 5:00 PM. * Myanmar Plaza
Another large shopping mall with a variety of restaurants and stores. 🛕 Cultural & Religious Landmarks * Shwedagon Pagoda
The most sacred pagoda in Myanmar, covered in gold and standing nearly 100 meters tall. Entry: 25,000 MMK. A must-see, especially at sunset when it glows beautifully. * Sule Pagoda
A small but historically significant pagoda located at the heart of downtown Yangon. * Maha Wizaya Pagoda
Peaceful and less crowded than Shwedagon. Offers a calm atmosphere for reflection. * Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple
Known for its massive Reclining Buddha statue. Few Turkish visitors, but it's definitely worth seeing. ⛪ Churches and Colonial Buildings * Holy Trinity Anglican Church
A British colonial-era church with gothic architecture. A quiet place to reflect or explore. * St. Mary’s Cathedral
The largest cathedral in Myanmar. A striking red-brick structure built in the early 20th century. * Armenian Apostolic Church
A small, historic church built in 1862—one of the oldest Christian buildings in Yangon. * The Secretariat Yangon
A significant colonial government building, known for its architecture and political history. Tours available. 🌅 Nature & Views * Inya Lake
A peaceful spot for walking or relaxing. Locals often come here in the evening. * Yangon Yangon Rooftop Bar
Possibly the best spot in the city to watch the sunset and enjoy a panoramic city view. 🍽️ Food Recommendation * Abdulla Shawarma & Doner Kebab
A casual place if you're craving something familiar. The doner is decent but nothing extraordinary. 🧭 Cultural Insight * National Races Village
A themed park that represents Myanmar’s ethnic diversity. A good place to learn about the customs, costumes, and homes of the major ethnic groups. Worth a visit if you're curious about the country’s rich cultural makeup.

Mula Ai, Myanmar 🇲🇲 Mula Ai, also known as Moloi or Mawlawai, is located in Myawaddy District, Karen State (DKBA), Myanmar. Besides being an adventurous destination for travelers, Mula Ai is a significant Buddhist site frequently visited by Myanmar Buddhists for pilgrimage. At the mountain's peak lies a sacred pagoda, a center of profound faith, surrounded by the chants of prayers, rich culture, local people, and their way of life. Credit: Pai Tiew Kan

Looking back from today, This sigh becomes heavier. A strong earthquake many years ago reduced thousands of pagodas on the Bagan Plain to ruins. Yesterday's 7.9 magnitude earthquake caused the outer wall of the Mandalay Palace to collapse. This imperial city carries the memory of the ancient capital of three dynasties of Myanmar. Ultimately, it could not escape the fate of crustal tremors. "Travel early" is the saying, The value of gold in the world of impermanence is still rising, Nature and time never stop their carving knives. Nepal's Durbar Square, which once amazed the world, In the 2015 earthquake, half of the temples were reduced to dust. Those unrecorded ancient wood carvings were buried in the dust forever along with the ruins. The majestic silhouette of the Twelve Apostles, Australia, The number of poles was reduced from 12 to 8 due to erosion by the sea waves. The salty taste of the sea breeze hides a sigh of disappearance. St. Mark's Square in Venice is soaked by sea water more than a hundred times a year. The Maldives coral islands are sinking into the Indian Ocean at a rate of 2 centimeters per year. The temples of the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria were shattered into fragments of civilization in the flames of war. These vanishing landscapes are like the sands in an hourglass, Remind us: some encounters that we miss will be separated forever. As Yu Qiuyu said in "Cultural Journey", "Mountains and rivers won't wait until you are ready before they collapse." Instead of looking at the ruins in electronic photo albums, Why not take advantage of the dusk when the sun can still penetrate U Bein Bridge? While the colorful pools of Jiuzhaigou have not yet been reshaped by crustal movement, Let your feet measure the real land. Because travel is not only a displacement of space, It is also a gentle race against the fragments of civilization. Before the eternal passing away, The eyes are the inscription, Carve the moment into eternity. postscript: Thank you for the early morning in Bagan in 2014. I once measured the thousand-year-old morning mist barefoot among the pagodas. At that time, Myanmar was still a backpacker’s paradise. The monk's crimson robes and the child's sweet mango smile, They are all still immersed in the morning bell that has not been shrouded by the shadow of electronic fraud. Now looking back at the golden light of Shwesandaw Pagoda and the silhouette of U Bein Bridge, It has become an out-of-print specimen of civilization. Just like the collapsed eaves of the Mandalay Palace and the folded hands in prayer in the earthquake ruins, All of these confirm the cruelest saying in Buddhism: All things are impermanent. The morning light of the pagoda that failed to keep its appointment, Eventually, it became a puzzle piece that was lost forever in the cracks of time. #March2025 #trip #myanmar

Kuthodaw Pagoda is a Buddhist stupa located at the base of the southeast stairways to Mandalay Hill. Constructed in 1857 by King Mindon, houses what is recognized as the World’s Largest Book. The “book” consists of 729 marble slabs, each housed in its own small white stupas known as kyauksa gu (stone-inscription caves), all together make up the entirety of Theravāda Buddhism’s religious canon.

#newyearnewtrip #pyinoolwin #myanmar Sharing my experience visiting December garden at Pyin Oo Lwin. This place is somewhere I’ve visited quite often since I was a child. They specialize in strawberry related drinks and desserts as they have their own strawberry farm we can pluck our own fruits in. They also have a big cow farm so, they sell a lot of dairy products and milk-related desserts! They’ve been so successful for so long that they expanded their shop and made it a garden that has many attractions and photo spots! I definitely recommend visiting there at least once when you’re in the Mandalay Division as it is a stop that even locals always make. Happy Travels ~

#newyearnewtrip #myanmar This restaurant is called Dibar, I have posted briefly about their carbonara spaghettis but I want to focus on their interior this time (apologies for my photos haha). The locations I’ve been to are the one at Yankin - Yangon and Nay Pyi Taw. They aim for this vintage look and do a really great job at prosecuting it (for me at least). The staff are very well mannered and helpful! They also have their home made gelato options. I really recommend this restaurant if you’re ever in Myanmar 🇲🇲. Happy Travels ~

Address - BAGAN right in the middle of the temples and pagodas. Great location, but clearly not in the city center Ambiance/Facilities - Really calm cause no tourists, facilities are very beautiful and has a great potential to be a beautiful 5* but maybe needs a little maintenance. Highlights - Infinity pool over the temples Avg. Price per Person - at the season we went when Myanmar is still re-opening to tourism 130€/night Rating - 4/5⭐️ The hotel is really amazing in terms of architecture, design and Location. The infinity pool with breathtaking views over the pagodas is definetly a must. It is not located in the town so taxi or e-bike rental is highly recommended. The rooms are spacious and pretty clean but would be have expected more attention to detail for a 5* hotel - although the price paid was very accessible. The diner food options are vaste and qualitative whereas the breakfast have a large selection but no bacon for example that would have much apreciated. The only thing that we were surprised is the fact that staff speak very little English and the conversation can be very very difficult, when you don’t expect in a 5 star tourism hotel to happen - we stayed in a much lower key hotel in Inle lake and staff where absolutely fluent in English…… #historicallandmarks #hotelstay #beautifulhotel #paradise #luxuryhotel #bagan #myanmar
