OVERVIEW

As the sun sets, Yangon takes on a lively vibrant atmosphere rarely experienced by tourists. This evening tour shows you the best of Yangon at night: starting with a cruise along the Yangon River to see the sun set over the city. We then take you by trishaw to bustling Chinatown to mingle with the locals, a delicious barbeque dinner and one of the city's best live music venues.

PROGRAM DETAILS

Around 4 pm, you will be picked up at your hotel for the start of your Yangon by Night tour. A short transfer will take you to Lanthit Oil Filling jetty (Near Hledan Bridge -No.2) where you will board a boat for a 1.5 hour evening cruise on the Yangon River. Enjoy the scenes of river life- with fishermen, local ferries and seagulls passing by- as the sun begins to set. Free flow local beer and local rum sours are severed, or we will offer a choice of soft drink or water.  

Returning to dry land, we'll drive to Chinatown. This neighborhood is extremely lively in the evening and we'll take a short walking tour along 19^th Street and its environs. Dozens of vendors set up satay stalls and other snack stalls here in the evening and it is a popular spot for locals to gather, have a drink and chat with friends. Sample some of the local treats as we walk through the bustling streets.

Then we'll take a local trishaw through the streets toward the illuminated Sule Paya. This way of travelling is fabulous in the evening, passing the colorful street stalls and illuminated colonial buildings of downtown.

After around 20  minutes by trishaw, we'll transfer by car to a local Barbeque Restaurant where you can enjoy delicious grilled meats, seafood and vegetable dishes with traditional dipping sauces and side dishes. The atmosphere is often very lively, with draft beer being served and often karaoke or Burmese music being played. (A supplement will apply for other options: fine French dining at La Planteur, Burmese and other Asian dishes at Monsoon or Chinese dishes at White Rice)

Finally we take you to Mr Guitar for a post-dinner drink. Mr Guitar is one of Yangon's most iconic bars, established years ago by Nay Myo Say, a famous Burmese musician and artist. The classy yet casual bar features live music and draws a crowd of hip locals and expatriates nightly.

After your night out on the town, your guide and driver will transfer you back to your hotel. (please note: guide and driver available until 11PM. After that time we will arrange for taxi transfer at client's expense)  (D)

** This tour can also be arranged without a boat cruise, starting instead at 18.30 with a trishaw ride. Please ask for more details.
