- Get more details about these things to do in Yangon here: wp.me/psd9b-54a
1. Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်) - Probably the most important religious monument and most sacred site in Yangon and throughout Myanmar is the Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်). The golden stupa of the pagoda is covered in gold, and it’s so bright that I you have squint when you look at it. At the top of the pagoda, in the small umbrella looking top, are thousands of gems and diamonds - though it’s pretty challenging to see all the way up there. The Shwedagon Pagoda is a place you must visit when you’re in Yangon.
2. Local Market - One of my favorite things to do in any city I visit about the world is to visit a local fresh market - that’s where life takes place and where the action goes down. There are no shortage of fresh local markets in Yangon, and one of the best in downtown is on 26th street, across the main road from the Shri Kali Temple. The market occupies a block of downtown, and there’s an indoor section, but I really like the street side part of the market.
3. Bogyoke Aung San Market - One of the centrally located markets in downtown Yangon, located at the northern side of town, is Bogyoke Aung San Market, also known by its former name of Scott Market. If you’re looking for souvenirs, gems and jewelry, and fabric, this is a great place for you to visit when you’re in Yangon.
4. Sule Pagoda (ဆူးေလဘုရား) - Another one of the most important religious, political, and overall just city landmarks in Yangon is the Sule Pagoda - basically all roads eventually lead to the Sule Pagoda and it’s a huge transportation hub. You can pay to enter the pagoda for $3, but in my opinion there’s not that much to see inside, but it’s rather the things around the are that are more impressive.
5. Chinatown, Yangon - One of my favorite things to do in Yangon is eat, and if you love food and markets, Chinatown is a place you can’t miss. In the evening, the city of Yangon in the Chinatown area comes alive sprawling with food and people. 19th street in Yangon is a very famous as the barbecue street in the city, and there are a few restaurants where you can get a table, choose some kebabs and have them barbecue them up for you. If you love eating and drinking, dinner at 19th street is one of the fun things to do in Yangon.
6. Kandawgyi Park - There are two parts to Kandawgyi Park, the boardwalk, and the restaurants area - each has an entrance fee. It makes a great relief from the city and place to relax in the natural beauty.
7. Chaukhtatgyi Paya (Chak Htat Gyi Buddha) - This giant reclining Buddha is housed in a huge shed, and it’s among the main Buddhist religious sites in Yangon. Originally in the same location, there was a seating Buddha, but when it fell over, it was replaced by a reclining.
8. National Museum of Myanmar - If you’d like to know more about the history and culture of Myanmar (Burma), one of the attractions in Yangon that you should check out is the National Museum. It was a little outdated, but the exhibitions were educational and interesting.
9. Yangon Circular Railroad - Not really one of the traditional things to do in Yangon, Myanmar, but taking the local circular train route is a great opportunity to see some of the outskirts of the city.
10. Walk Around Yangon - Probably the best way to experience the city is to just get out on your feet and explore Yangon by food - you never know what’s going to happen or what you’re going to see or come across, but it will be full of action.
11. Myanmar Food and Street Food - There’s nothing better than traveling to eat and experiences a country through its food. Yangon is filled with both street food stalls and restaurant where you can get a sample of the local cuisine. Another part of the Myanmar culture I love is the constant tea drinking - nearly everywhere you look, you’ll find a place to sit on the side of the road and drink a cup of hot tea and socialize.
Yangon is a great city, and what I love so much about it is that it’s always full of action, people are extremely friendly, there are many different types of food and street food to try, and it’s just such a vibrant, always entertaining city. Hope you can visit Yangon!

I'm half burmese and its a shame I know nothing about the country. I'm trying to learn the language which is very difficult since it is very different from English and my first language Filpino/Tagalog. This video made my day. It made me feel like I'm there myself. I'm trying to fill half of my life but I still can't,hopefully someday.
It’s fine I’m fully Burmese and raised in Yangon yet Burmese is still hard as hell to speak understand and write
im chin and dont know much about the country either. lived in the states for more than majority of my life
Yap like you said it was not easy to remember and learn every words in Myanmar language was complicated and one word was different mean depand on situation and sentence yoy want to discribe about.I'm from myanmar,i'm 100% Shan(Tai yai) live in north shan state i'm still learning more to english.I'm mean if someone was not native and live here,it is not easy to learn like any other language.I know your comment was 3y ago but i can't stop my self to write on your comments.
Thank you for the video :) I am going to travel to Myanmar next week.
hisashivalentine Have a great trip!
Thanks :D Really happy to have the chance to travel there :)
welcome in Burma
+Kyaw Naing dude
It has been a year now and I must say, I really loved the place. Last term I had a burmese writer as a lecturer in a seminar on asian fiction/rising asia. I really learned a lot. Would love to go back to Myanmar again someday :)
The market looks like it would be one of my favorite things to do and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that truck drive right over the baskets! Crazy!
Love your attitude towards life , travel n food ... Nice video ... Hope for more food vids from Myanmar ... keep up the great work! Anyways hope the heavens brings u great fortune hahaha

Invesigator you are just being stupid. Do not watch this video if you’re going to be stupid and racist. And you don’t have to visit there either. You may not be welcomed
Very nice video! Few people want to go to Myanmar, BUT I DO!!! :) It's always China, Japan, India, Thailand, Nepal...BUT I WANT TO SEE MYANMAR!!!

I'm from Myanmar going to college in the United States. Your video is very insightful, and above all, it makes me miss home. Thank you for visiting Myanmar. I'm really glad you enjoyed the food too. That part is what I miss most about home. Cheers!
Myat Thinzar Aung Hey Myat, from Myanmar here too... Where are you going to college?
Myat Thinzar Aung i get you i live in australia and i recently went to Myanmar beause i wanted to see my relative now i back in australia i have been crying for days because i miss my relatives.😢
same dude, Im from Myanmar too, but have spent most of my life here in Norway cuz I live here. Love my home country, and I also miss my relatives, only see them like every fifth year because of college and work. I will for sure visit Myanmar more often in the future.
Myat Thinzar Aung me to
I’m from Myanmar too
Myanmar is a laidback country with adventurous street life, very friendly people, amazing street food and just chaotic street life. Yangon is the city I was born and I lived in the upper and middle town of 27-26-25-24 street. You definitely need to visit Artha street, it has a very busy wild and chaotic wild street life. I grew up buying ingredients my mum ordered from there everyday.
Mark, next time you're in Yangon, you should definitely try Kyay Oh. It's a Burmese/Chinese version of the Vietnamese Pho. Also try Dan Pok, a Burmese version of Indian Pakastani biryani. They're my favorite!
Mark Wiens
Jason N yea also phat toke kyay oh!i love eating it but some of them are bad cuz their phat toke is just like a bag of flour with no meat in it
Burma and Cambodia is a very DANGEROUS place! There is currently a civil war there and the Evil government military is mass murdering many smaller minority groups!! There is also many Evil chinese gangs from china that are kidnapping people and selling their body organs. Yes, you heard me correctly murdering them and selling their body organs. Chinese gangs use many methods to make you OWE them money, with fake jobs prospects, gamblings, and they kidnapp you and sell your body organs. Don't go to Burma and Cambodia, the Chinese gangs from china are hunting for people to kidnapp. I wish you all would watch Asian news from Hong kong, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia.
I watched it before and watched it again in 2021. Every time I look at your face reaction to food I smile and can’t wait for the next one lol. I am originally from Myanmar and I am Karen ethnic, grew up in Thailand refugee camp with different languages but I understand their language well. Can’t wait to visit just once 😁
I like the way you can make yourself at home in any type of environment. What a fascinating place Myanmar is.
PurveyorofPeaceLoveandLight Thank you for the support.
@@davidvasey5065 yeah. That name was changed by the military government. No one actually liked it because it holds no deep meaning. As a fact, the current flag is also not official and made by military government
you nailed it, right on, 10 times better than the official tourist information videos
Been to Yangon 9 times since March this year (for work), i got to be honest here, i only knew of the existence of number 1 and 6, thanks for the other 9 Mark! Will try to make time next trip..geez i'm useless..
Awesome video Mark! Myanmar is definitely still on our list. Nice list of activities... the circular rail looks amazing
Big thank you Because We Camp, hope you can visit in the future. Are you guys still in China?
We definitely can't wait to get back to SE Asia. Yea we're still in China, currently in zhangjiajie enjoying the mind blowing views. Have you been here?
Because We Camp Looks incredible. No, so far in China I have only been to Guangxi province, but would love to visit more. Hope you are doing well!
Because We Camp Isn't RUclips blocked in China??
Hey Austin S , not unless you use a VPN :)
Yangon, especially downtown area has a lot of room to improve.
Most of the street foods have poor hygiene, rubbish pretty much everywhere, and the number of pick pocket is increased.
The positive side of Myanmar is people are nice.
Thanks.
now that the city has changed a lot! Come again to see how she has grown.
To be fair, considering I just came a year ago, i dont see much differences compare to the video that was made 5 years ago.
I doubt i will see any significant amount of change at anytime soon, also the pandemic for sure slow most of the things down.
Eventho i had bad experience in yangon, as my wallet was stolen.
But it doesnt stop me to make fair opinion, the police and Burmese are quite helpful and friendly.
Iwill show you our how to speak ငါဒီနေ့ပျော်တယ် this saids i happy today
Mingalabar !

Please comeback Mark!
It has changed a lot now.
Great video. We are off to Yangon for a week at Easter! :D

Mark Wiens, I heard there are major changes in Myanmar now. I hope you will revisit once more and do another video for the viewers. I awaits your next video. Thanks.

Sana matupad yun para sa'akin
Thanks from Myanmar...
ငါတို့ဆီရောက်မှမင်းလည်းဂန့်တာဘဲ
I live in Yangon and one of my favorite places and somewhere I would take people to Dala which is across the river. There are local markets (which seem more authentic then some Downtown), a village hit by the 2004 Tsunami that has been all but forgotten about, a recycle store that is amazing, fishing villages with boat rides and a snake pagoda which was impressive. If you go to Myanmar please visit Dala!
I used to live in yangon too
Ashlee Arnold oh wow! Is it safe? I went there once with my colleague due to work but I was told to be careful by my supervisor before we ride a ship going to dala.
so nice! very inspiring for our Myanmar travel in a few weeks!
I just had my visit in ngapali beach and it was fantastic. Ngwe Saung and its beach is also magical
This is my favorite youtube channel !
Nicolás Souza Big thank you.
so do i from thailand

I go to Yangon well, about four times in a year.
Interesting City, the food looked delicious and the people seemed nice :-)
Great video man! There's many more places to travel in Myanmar.
Are you from myanmar sir
Your channel has everything I'm searching for. I'm planning for a 5 day trip in Burma in October and so happy to find out your channel. Thanks for your info.
I’m a local born and raised in Yangon. This video is very insightful and I can see what caught the interests of foreigners. I have many international friends and if they ask me where is the best places to visit in Yangon I always have a hard time finding anything interesting since I’m so used to the everyday life there. But this vid will definitely help me showing my friends around when they visit. 😂
I’M FROM MYANMAR!!!!!But I was not in the video!😢
That's great. I've lived here in Myanmar for almost 9 years and i think only done 3. Those are the touristy places. Go outside of yangon to a remote place Luke Kalaw or Taungyi or go to a beach. I recommend Shwe Hin Tha on Ngwe Saung Beach. There, you can stay in bamboo huts or a concrete bungalow and it is just so beautiful. I would not recommend eating street food because if food poisoning and if you do want to try it, just check to see if it's clean because it would mess up your whole trip to get food poisoning, and a delicious meal isn't worth that. Myanmar is definitely a place to travel to and super beautiful. I've fallen in love with it, but most of the things he showed were downtown. Go outside of yangon to placed like Dala or Hlegu, where usually no other tourists go.
what about Burmese Traditional Axe Dance Show???? have you watch it already......
Whats the brand of your shoulder bag?? "Pacsafe" one ?? How's pick pocketeers in Myanmar? Do they exist?
haha love the ending :)
elizayv Thank you!
I am very sad because I am a Rohingya Muslim from Myanmar but the government did not recognize us How I wish to go to my country and live in peace Thank you for this beautiful video I enjoyed it😭😭💔

I assume you didn't have local accompany during the tour. Best food places in town are missing. Even locals are abit afraid of some street food places for hygiene.
I agree that!

I was there in 2013 also travelled to Rakine state and went offshore to the SHWE platform. What an experience
Thanks for video . I am from India and i really want to visit Myanmar.
Welcome from myanmar!
The best Myanmar video I've seen Mark Wiens. It didn't look like the weather was on your side, though. When that bird got you in the end there, I laughed
I was vacation to Yangon Nov, 2018. Things are changes a lot since 1973
This video was absolutely beautiful, Mark. Great job!
Thanks for showing my Cultures/Myanmar cultures to the world, I been over 15yr growing out of Myanmar 🇲🇲. Now u make to get back. I feel like my birth place is waiting me... lov it. Thanks again
I live yangon I am 🇲🇲
Wow, this was 2014. Myanmar Kyat has depreciated sharply. Now $1 USD = 2100 Kyat.
I definitely want to visit Myanmar before I die! On my bucket list 4 sure
Been 3 years did you go
Nice video summing up the street life in and around Yangoon. Love to visit that place one day....
I love discovering countries from you point of view. Its really unique and interesting. I wish you all the luck
HOHO Kuwait Big thank you for your support
I want to try the street food, but I am so worried about getting sick.
I feel so much ashame by seeing my country that much dirty.
Van Dullah really ?!?!
Well,we r used to it.😂
I would do similar to yourself , but would HAVE to visit the Thein Phyu stadium , the temple of Lethwei , Lethwei is hardcore , but the heart and respect of the fighters is inspiring
Beautifull city,
It's just stupid for such a poor third world low class country to go around committing genocide, gang raping women and burning children alive.
I love it. Beautiful yet chaotic :)
I miss my second home! cant wait to go back for a visit. peace and love from aus
Im burmese and its really shameful that I cant visit my hometown
I noticed some of the women have a white powder on their cheeks, any idea what this is? (I assume it's a religious thing)
Hey mart3h, it's called thanaka en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanaka, and it's a paste that's used for both sun protection and beauty.
Mark Wiens Oh, right on! Cheers for the info!
It usually consider as the cosmetics in Myanmar. Mostly every women in my country use it daily.
mart3h Oh btw, and it's a purely cultural thing. nothing to do with religion
mart3h it's called thanaka.The traditionol makeup for girls and boys!
I am going to move to Myanmar in early June for ten months (teaching) with my wife. I can not wait.
How is it?
The one who thumb down dont know what they were watching nice video
wierdogurlo Thanks!
I am going to Mynamar, in Nov. On a missions trip. Going to Yangon, and villages outside, and Bagan. My friend lives in Bagan. He is a teacher and missionary.?Thanks for this video.

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO :0)
theman7431 Thank you for watching.
I can’t believe that you came here and explored like that I’m very admire you and you are the greatest lovely blogger ever through out I have seen
Myanmar is economically down but it’s a beautiful country with the best foods in the world. Loads of love to my home country from Australia
I'm also a burmese living in Australia.
tuyet v ngon thank
Thank you so much for showing true side of Yangon. love the city
Love ur videos your so fun to watch I encourage my mother to watch u as well
Great video Mark, thank you. I love hearing you mention the plastic stools.... my wife doesn't understand my obsession with them! Plastic stools = street food in my mind!
Thank you very much, haha, that's a great way to put it - they are very cool.
Hopefully I can go visit Myanmar once the Covid-19 panic is over.
Loved your Tokyo video (where i visited after) and so glad I found this video when there's so little videos/travel information on Myanmar.
I totally love your -i just had the best food in my life - facial expression!!
Myanmar seems to be Thailand 2. Foreigners have to pay a fee wherever they turn.
I live in myanmar and my favorite place is Myanmar Plaza XD
မင္ဂလာပါ
TGF Swam same!
Hello to beautiful chaotic city of Myanmar!
Google ' Long Live Indochina/China Daily' for cold hard facts on Myanmar & beautiful friendly Burmese people.
Long Live all thy beautiful people of Myanmar.
Hi, Mark , thanks for your visit and showing us places in Yangon and Food.
However, I don't see you try one of the main or mostly eaten snack : Noodle called Mong-Hin-Kha ( မုန္႔ဟင္းခါး ) which is very much popular across our country and is only be done originally in Myanmar !
Just curious that i did not see you try it . Love to you !
Please excuse my arrogance here, but could you get around on speaking English or should you definitely know as much Burmese as you can prior to coming here? Thank you
Most people will attempt to converse in broken English, you will take in more of the dialogue if you pay attention and not try to correct their grammar. I hope this answers your question. They are not rude like the Thai who will wave you away. The French will do the same if you speak in English. Try to learn a few basic words and the locals will love your interest in them. God bless!
Once again, amazing video on a new destination. Still loving these top things to do series! Makes me really want to visit Myanmar now!
Is Myanmar very different to Thailand? You should visit Cambodia in the near future and see the amazing Angkor temples!
I subscribed your channel a few days ago & following so many videos ever since but never thought you've been to Myanmar... love seeing you in my country... also hoping to see more food tours in Myanmar too ✌✌✌
Yangon is a fascinating town. I've been there for several months a few years ago. And I believe that some years in the future Yangon and Myanmar could be a new emerging economic country in the region.
OMG I miss the burmese food thanks for a really great video!!! I'll be there next month and visit my home town in shan state
Great introduction to Yangon, Mark. It has given me important insights into the city and its people.
Yr facial expression itself shows us that you are good in eating hahhaha
Well done mark! Enjoyed watching this video like all your others. I like how you showed a lot of things in the videos.
Jem Smedley Thank you Jem
