Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Yangon
Arrive in Yangon, Myanmar’s capital city. Remainder of day at leisure. Savoy Hotel
Day 2: Yangon
Yangon lies in the fertile delta of southern Myanmar, on the wide, slow Yangon River. Trees line the boulevards while shimmering stupas float above the treetops. The city became the capital only in 1885, when the British completed a conquest of Upper Myanmar and Mandalay's brief period as capital of the last Burmese kingdom ended. Yangon sits on the Yangon River. Although the city is not as old as many other Asian cities, the site was the location for a settlement some 2,500 years ago. Begin your sightseeing with the city’s pagodas. The British in the late 1800s used Sule Pagoda’s golden dome as the nucleus of their grid pattern to rebuild the city. Botataung Pagoda was named in honor of the 1,000 military leaders who escorted relics of the Buddha from India to Myanmar more than 2,000 years ago. Sadly, this ancient monument was destroyed during WWII, and had to be completely rebuilt. Stroll through the National Museum, which includes an eight-meter high Sihasana Lion Throne, used by the last Burmese king. The main floor contains jewelry, old black and white photos of Mandalay Palace and Yangon, royal relics, Hintha opium weights and inscribed tablets. Your first day ends with sunset at Shwedagon Pagoda, the highlight of any visit to Yangon. The pagoda dates back 2,500 years and houses eight sacred hairs of the Buddha. Its original shape has been changed beyond all recognition over the centuries. Its bell-shaped superstructure, resting on a terraced base, is covered in about 60 tons of gold leaf. The Buddhist Art Museum is housed in a 1952 Art Deco-style building. The dominant lotus window depicts all the attitudes of the Buddha. The museum's collection includes begging bowls, palm leaf scriptures and 18th-20th century wooden Buddha images.
