Contributing tho Anita's theme. One of the many colonial buildings still standing untouched in Yangon. Yangon boasts one of the most spectacular and diverse urban landscapes: famous Buddhist buildings like the Shwedagon Pagoda, Anglican and Roman Catholic Cathedrals, Baptist and Methodist churches, over a dozen Sunni and Shia mosques, Hindu, Parsi and Sikh temples, and even a Jewish synagogue and an Armenian church, unfortunately many of these heritage buildings are at risk from decades of neglect and, more pressingly, a new wave of intense pressure for rapid urban development.
The Yangon Heriatge Trust works to promote and integrate Yangon’s unique urban heritage into a 21st century vision of Yangon.
Tip: Take one of their walking tours whilst in Yangon. you will be supporting their work and will see some interesting places in the nooks and crannys of the city.
