DAY 1: GRAND MYANMAR SIGHTSEEING TOURS: ARRIVAL – YANGON SIGHTSEEING TOURS
Arrive Yangon’s Mingaladon Airport off flight and you will be welcome by your guide and will transfer to your hotel.
You have arrived in Myanmar (Burma), a country which has never ceased to fascinate and capture the imagination of foreign visitors through the centuries. Rudyard Kipling said of the country, “This is Burma,it will be unlike any other land you know about”. Back in 1586, the first Englishman to visit Burma, Ralph, Fitch, described Shwedagon: “It is of a wonderful bigness, and all gilded from the foot to the top. It is the fairest place, as I suppose, that is in the world.”Again, Somerset Maugham described the Shwedagon Pagoda as “glistening with gold, like a sudden hope in the dark night of the soul”. A lady who visited the country recently said, “You cannot go back and not love the country and the people”.
This evening, you will visit the Shwedagon Pagoda, shimmering above the city of Yangon for an unforgettable sunset. While the origins of the pagoda are shrouded in legend, it was certainly well-established by the time Bagan dominated Myanmar in the 11th century. All around the Shwedagon one finds the calm activity of a religious village, for a great pagoda is the focus of secular as well as religious life, none more so than the Shwedagon. It is an important event for Myanmar families who make a pilgrimage to the pagoda to be able to buy a packet of gold leaf at one of the pagoda bazaars, and paste their offerings to one of the Buddha images at the pagoda. Illuminated by the misty glow of the sun, the Shwedagon is most admired at dusk or dawn. To wander around this religious monument, with all its legends and history and to witness a breathtaking sunset over the crumbling skyline of Yangon is one of Asia’s best kept secrets.
Overnight in Yangon.
