Yangon is a transit city , not much to see except the pagoda and a nice walk in the park near the pagoda. The city of Yangon is a third world city, exceptionally dirty. The mercure hotel is not located in the city centre and it is a good thing.

5/5 - Excellent

Get out and try the Myanmar restaurants. There are a number of very good Shan restaurants listed by Myanmar Times, and Roots is great for Wa cuisine. Also, don't be afraid of fine dining. Le Planteur, Seeds, and Yangon Restaurant are all great.

Yangon is a great city to explore, friendly people, but possibly not great for the squeamish. Wonderful markets and street life

Busy. Terrible sidewalks,which were often occupied by junk, vendors (good), and dangerous holes, but that is part of the experience. People generally friendly, taxis cheap. Lots of fun.
