Yangon
Yangon, the commercial capital city of Myanmar, is so evergreen and cool with lush tropical trees, shady parks and beautiful lakes it has earned the name of “The Garden City of the East”. Yangon was founded in 1755 by King ALAUNGPAYA; he established Yangon on the location of a small town named Dagon when he dominated the lower part of Myanmar. He was the one who gave the name Yangon, meaning ‘End of Strife’. In 1885, the name was anglicized as Rangoon when the British annexed the country.
