Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, is the largest city in Myanmar and its main commercial hub. Located in the southern part of the country, Yangon is known for its colonial-era architecture, bustling markets, and vibrant street life. The city is home to the iconic Shwedagon Pagoda, a gold-covered stupa that is one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Myanmar. While it was once the capital, administrative functions have moved to Naypyidaw, but Yangon remains the country’s cultural and economic heart. The city has a blend of traditional and modern influences, with growing infrastructure and international connections.
