And I am writing for the articles for the English newspaper as a freelance journalist, so the knowledge I will share is authentic and correct. The politics in Myanmar is very complicated in terms of the history. You will enjoy my explanation of the history and the political and social affairs of Myanmar. And I can show you untouched places of Yangon besides the common attractions in Yangon in terms of my experience and my passion. Burmese people are beautiful due to the ethnic and cultural diversity. Burmese represent eight ethnic groups who live in Burma such as Kachin, Kaya, Kayin, Chin, Mon, Myanmar, Rakhine and Shan. Geographically, the landscapes of Myanmar is different from place to place. It adds the beauty of Myanmar. Yangon is one of the best places in visiting Myanmar and it is suitable for walking tour of the downtown areas and it attracts tourists due to a beautiful Shwedagon pagoda, beautiful colonial buildings and the charming lakes and parks.

Overview of your Yangon tour

Mingalarbar! Welcome to Myanmar / Burma Hi! My name is Htay Win. But, you can call me Htay. I am a licensed tour guide in Myanmar with experience of guiding tour more than ten years. As a local tour guide, I know the salient places of Yangon to make your tour unforgettable in your life journey, Once upon a time, Yangon was the capital city of Mom dynasty in the 15th century. In that time, the city was called Dagon. But, when King Alaungphaya captured Dagon in 1755, he changed the name of the city to Yangon in commemoration of the end of strife. And, the British force came to Yangon in 1852, they changed the name of the city Rangoon again. Since then, Yangon became the capital of Myanmar until the government relocated the capital to Naypyidaw in 2004. Now, Yangon is only the commercial city with over 7 million population. When the British force came to Yangon in 1852, it was just a small fishing village. And then, the British army engineer lieutenant Fraser designed Yangon city in the delta land.
