The Best Attractions for Yangon Nightlife
Yangon Chinatown, 19th Street
There was a time, about a few years ago, there were little things to do after 10 pm because all the streets are completely tranquil and boring. Nevertheless, it has been changed in recent years. Typically, one of the places that visitors cannot ignore when taking a Yangon tour is “19th Street” located in Chinatown, where you can engage in drinking parties until 2 a.m.
As night falls over Yangon, the smell of food wafts down narrow alleyways, and people finish work and spill out onto the streets. It is also the time when market stalls and streets will be filled up with buoyant residents sharing curries, rice, noodles, and seasonal broth. Then, this melting-pot city becomes vibrant with not only Myanmar girls and boys but also foreign visitors especially those who are eager to have Yangon’s nightlife experience at least once in their life. Although Myanmar men are not really interested in drinking, Yangon streets are still full of locals laughing totally enjoying themselves.
