Expect all things marvellous at Myanmar's largest city
Previously named Rangoon, Yangon serves as a shining beacon of the country's political shift, first gaining independence before reopening to the world as a commercial and cultural hub. And the numbers do speak for itself, where over 4 million tourists visited the country in 2015!
From a slew of the hottest F&B establishments to heritage sites that reflect impressive colonial architecture, here's a guide to what the vibrant city has to offer:

8. Yangon Circular Train
While sitting on an old, uncomfortable train with no air-conditioner for 3 hours (SGD$0.09) doesn’t seem enticing, we say do it for the once-in-a-lifetime experience!
As the train leaves the bustling city area, the view of the concrete jungle slowly away ebbs away to a lineup of humble huts and villages. You’ll also get to witness how the train becomes a makeshift marketplace as peddlers will come aboard to make ends meet by selling produce and souvenirs.
