Walking Tour

Meet with your guide at the hotel’s lobby around 08:00, and transfer to downtown by taxi and enjoy a walking tour around the colonial area which is filled with various historical buildings. A popular place to start is the central post office where you will start your walking tour and walk along the Strand Road, and historical Strand Hotel, a landmark dating to the British period, the jetty to observe the ways of life of the people on Yangon River. Then walk in Pansoedan Street, famous for the most impressive colonial buildings to be found in Yangon. And then to Sule Pagoda, near City Hall are the High Court building, the Emmanuel Baptist Church, Mosque, and Mahabandola Garden.

Stop for a drink at one of the local tea-shop, a great place to soak in the local culture and lifestyle. As today comes to a close, take a walk around colorful Chinatown: pavement on both sides of the roads turns into night bazaar with all kinds of street shops – food, accessory, fruit & flower shops, etc. You may also visit the wet market on 38th Street. You can simply walk there (or) as a quick alternative, you can hop on a local bus; get off at the next stop, and walk towards the market. These markets are part of Yangon’s life, offering nothing for the tourists, all for the locals. Afterward, you may wish to drop off at local restaurant or transfer back to your hotel.
