The former capital Yangon (Myanmar) is one of the most attractive destinations in Asia. Visitors will be completely conquered by the lakes, shady parks, and lush tropical plants. This is the reason why Yangon is also known as the "Garden of the East". Even though it is no longer the nation's official capital, Yangon – formerly Rangoon – remains Myanmar's largest and most commercially important city. Its downtown skyline is dominated by the 'winking wonder' of Shwedagon Paya, a dazzling Buddhist temple that attracts pilgrims from all over the world, and especially a wide array of museums that showcase the culture and the history of this untouched country. In this article, we provide you with a list of museums to visit in Yangon tours.
