Yangon was one of my favourite layovers last year. Yangon was one of my favourite layovers last year. 🇲🇲 I was lucky enough to get a 54 hour stay there after an only 4.5 hour flight. The most beautiful thing I saw during those days was the Shwedagon Pagoda, a 112 meter tall golden pagoda in the center if Yangon, the capital of Myanmar. It was extremely hot as I was visiting in the morning (not early enough to beat the heat), but nevertheless I spent almost two hours there.
