Things to do	Surrounded on three sides by water, Yangon has a unique charm with its old colonial buildings, tree lined streets, bustling markets and tranquil lakes. Yangon, is a thriving sea port which is fast-changing with new buildings and busy streets as you would expect from a newly-emerging international city.Pagodas glisten among trees and houses and at the heart of Yangon is the mighty Shwedagon Pagoda, always bustling with people who come to worship, picnic, read or simply quietly absorb the surroundings.One of the most magnificent monuments on earth, and said to date from the 11th century, the stupa is plated with more than 8,000 solid gold slabs and its tip is set with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and topaz. The Shwedagon is surrounded by more than 100 smaller stupas, pavilions and halls. Bogyoke market has the largest selection of merchandise you'll find under one roof. Along the maze-like aisles you'll find a whole variety of everyday requisites and interesting Burmese souvenirs, from lacquerware and Shan shoulder bags to T-shirts and cheroots. Kandawgyi Lakes (formerly Royal Lakes) are close to the city centre and are at their most attractive at sunset, when the glittering Shwedagon is reflected in their calm waters. On the eastern edge of the largest lake is the Karaweik stone boat, a concrete copy of a royal barge, which is used as a restaurant and venue for cultural shows. Beyond the city lies a wealth of enticing experiences, including journeys on board the Road To Mandalay river cruise ship, pristine Ngapali and magical Lake Inle.
