  1. Yangon

One of the best destinations to visit in Asia is Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city. Yangon is a city that balances tradition, culture and modernity, making it a must-visit for anyone who wants to see a different side of Asia. Yangon is a big and yet not modernized city, with Victorian buildings, tree-lined avenues, lakes and parks and a bustling city center of friendly vendors, colorful stalls and people going about in their daily chores dressed traditionally in their Longyi and flip-flap sandals.

Yangon is the most exotic in Southeast Asia. A walk down a typical street, the sights show remarkable commercial and traffic signs written mostly in local alphabet, not to mention the appearance of wandering monks in burgundy robes and the gilded pagodas as this is looked for in this Buddhist country, and down to the locals keeping up their appearances.
