Yangon is not a particularly charming city but it has some nice places to eat and there are one or two highlights not to miss. The city is pretty big, but with Grab you can move around super easy and cheap.
1. Visit the Shwedagon Pagoda
It is considered the most beautiful pagoda in Myanmar and it is for sure spectacular. After seeing so many pagodas we are not sure if it is the most beautiful one, but with its enormous size and everything covered in gold it is for sure the most spectacular one.
2. Take the circular train
There is a local train that runs a circle around the inner city which takes about three hours. It is a great way to see a little bit of the local people’s daily life and with some luck you also got the chance to talk to them.
3. Eat Shan noodles
Its probably one of the most typical Burmese dishes there is. And at the 999 Shan Noodle Shop we found our favorites.
