Description
Excerpted from the website:
- "Mingalarbar is both a word welcome and a wish for good fortune. The famous city of Yangon is the cosmopolitan capital city of Myanmar. It is home to one of the ancient wonders of the world. The Shwedagon Pagoda's 98 meter high golden stupa rises majestically over the city like a beacon of glory. Believed to have been built over 2500 years ago the Shwedagon Pagoda was enshrined with hair relics of the Buddha. The glory of the Shwedagon Pagoda is however not in its material wealth but rather in the one hundred pavilions and shrines of traditional architecture, clustered on its platform and the reverence of the devotees. The Supreme Court Building is a glorious example of colonial architecture which has been well preserved inspite of the vicissitudes of time. It was situtated in the heart of Yangon city.Once Yangon was a small Town called Dagon, on the suburbs of an ancient Kingdom of Okkalapa. In 1755 the founder of the Third Myanmar Empire King Alaungpaya who reigned in Upper Myanmar conquered the southern parts of the country and renamed the town Yangon, meaning End of Strife. As befits any capital city Yangon offers a whole range of sites and experiences. From elegant continental Dining to Japanese, Korean, and Thai and of course Myanmar cuisine. The National Museum gives an insight into the de'cor of the kings' palaces; the Gem Museum displays uncut rubies as large as bricks. The best of original bazaars is the Bo Gyoke Aung San (Scott) Market its hundreds of tiny stalls selling everything from rubies to lacquer ware to silks.
