9 Government Buildings in Yangon (Rangoon) That You Shouldn't Miss

July 9, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Yangon (formerly known as Rangoon) is no longer the capital of Myanmar, but it has experienced a huge increase in tourism recently. Book early, as hotel rooms are sometimes hard to find! While you’re in town, the Shwedagon Pagoda, an immense, ancient Buddhist shrine, is a must-see—TripAdvisor travelers recommend visiting at sunrise or sunset.

The Secretariat

The Secretariat is Yangon’s most intriguing and beautiful historic architectural landmark. The Victorian-colonial masterpiece that sits on almost 16 acres in the heart of Yangon was once the seat of British administration in Burma. Today The Secretariat Yangon is nearing the end of a multi-year renovation that will allow everyone the opportunity to explore this elegant “grande dame.” The Secretariat Yangon’s more than 400,000 square feet of space is once again coming alive with a vibrant mix of tenants that will include museum and art exhibit spaces, cultural and private event spaces, guided tours, as well as retail shops, restaurants and commercial office space - all nestled in a treasure of Victorian architecture and surrounded by flowering gardens. Currently the East Wing and North Wing are open to the public.

Reviewed By francis_martino - Hirtshals, Denmark

Beautiful building near major tourist attractions in downtown Yangon. A great building with Western style Wall and Pile with the Burmese-style roofs . It is right across from the Freedom monument. It is like hybrid style.It is beautiful British Colonial Architecture in the downtown of Yangon. It is a beautiful building junction of Sule Pagoda and some prominent structure are Maha Bandula Garden ,Immanuel Baptist Church, A Democracy Monument ,etc.. The public do not access the building except business matter ,but it is definitely worth having a look from the outside.
