Yangon Chinatown at Night

Chinatown is the most busy quarter in the city after sunset.

People enjoy life at streets around when it gets a bit cooler in the evening and at least now some electricity is available. During the day most time electricity is off if they dont have their own generator they are really in problems.

This part of Yangon city was until recently the only place where some substantial nightlife has happen but this has changed. Parallel to the reforms there was a real upsurge on investment at other parts of the city from entrepreneurs who immigrated years ago and are coming back now. This is a very positive development and show that people are able to see the chances.

Roaming around Chinatown everyone who is really interested in the country should do. A recommended walk would be to have starting from the Sule Pagoda up to Anawrahta Road towards the west. Because that would give a interesting perspective first into the Indian part of the city and after that part.
