Yangon

Yangon, previously known as Rangoon, is the largest city in Myanmar and the former capital of Burma with a population of about 5 million people. Yangon, which was once a little fishing village, was governed by the British and now possesses the most colonial buildings of any Southeast Asian metropolis.

The Shwedagon Pagoda, a historic Buddhist monument surrounded by parks, a war cemetery, and Musmeah Yeshua, the city's lone synagogue, are some top tourist attractions of the city. If you're ever unsure whether to go or not, Yangon is considered one of Asia's safest cities to visit.
