Formerly the nation’s capital, Yangon remains the largest city and an important economic hub of Myanmar. The past British colonial capital retains most of its old world charms, with historical architecture making up most of the cityscape and betel nut chewing locals dressed in traditional attire as an everyday lifestyle. The iconic landmark, Shwedagon Pagoda, is one of the oldest Buddhist stupa in the world with history dating back to over 2,000 years ago, and provides an impressive façade to the city’s landscape. With the stunning religious and historical sites, rich culture and friendly locals, Yangon offers an exotic and enriching experience for travellers from around the world. Pan Pacific Yangon, a hotel in Yangon city center and part of the brand new Junction City mixed-used development, is your gateway to exploring this fascinating city.
