This place is known by locals as the war cemetery or the Allied cemetery. It is an incredibly well maintained cemetery honoring the soldiers who lost their lives in WWI and WWII. We were overwhelmed by the number of graves and the 27,000 other soldiers who were honored but unable to be buried. If you are in Yangon you should definitely make the trip to the cemetery.

To get here we took the circle train out of Yangon Central Railway station to the stop Kyaikkale (one after the Golf Course stop). From that station we walked to the road and hailed a taxi. It took 4 or 5 to find someone who could speak enough English to take us there. We paid 8000 Kyat (appr. 8 USD) for the ride there, for him to wait, and for the ride back to the station. It takes about 15-20 minutes in the taxi to get there. The locals use the cemetery more like a park and were more interested in us than anything else. This was irritating but as tourism is so little still it is understandable. Entrance is free.

Chan Myae Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly helpful staff. Wifi worked well. Good breakfast. Some problems sometimes to take shower when there was no water but they fixed the problem very quickly"

Hotel Grand United Ahlone Branch

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has a great location and is easily accessible to downtown, which makes getting around very convenient. The pricing is excellent and very affordable, offering strong value for money. The breakfast buffet is a highlight, with a wide variety of options and very good taste. The staff are friendly, courteous, and always willing to help, which adds a warm and welcoming touch to the stay. The bedding is comfortable, and the room is clean by Myanmar standards. There is some room for improvement if compared to international standards, but overall the experience is very positive when considering the price point. Overall, for the location, service, and value offered, this hotel deserves a full 5-star rating."

Pan Pacific Yangon

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel, spotless, comfortable bed, long desk, a spacious de luxe room with sofa. It has a separate shower room and bath tub with motorized curtain, and a day and night motorized window curtain. All staffs are welcoming in the lobby and reception especially Izu who patiently answered all our inquiries and recommended places to go. The coffee shop at the Ground floor serves delicious and affordable foods. The hotel is connected to a mall and has access in the GF. Accessible by taxi or Grab to tourist spots. Transportation is inexpensive. Highly recommended and will use other Pan Pacific hotels when we book in other countries. "
