Yangon & Mandalay

Myanmar's two great cities offer contrasting experiences. Yangon delivers the golden magnificence of Shwedagon (Myanmar's most sacred site), colonial cocktails at the legendary Strand Hotel, and the $0.10 circular train adventure through real Myanmar. Mandalay offers the world's longest teak bridge at sunset and hill sunrise over the last royal palace. Wine moments are colonial luxury (Strand) and BYOB adventures.
