I went in May, which is probably the worst time to go, when temperatures soar up to 41 degrees celcius. The best time to visit is of course is at night, when the temperature is cooler, and the temple with thousands of diamonds and rubies shone brightly at night.
Welcome to the Shwedagon Pagoda at night!
Locals praying... it's a grand place
Long flight of stairs... which you have to climb depending on which entrance u enter
Volunteer sweepers sweeping the floor, helping to keep the pagoda clean
Getting to pagoda is easy, just flag a taxi and they will take you there. There are many taxis around pagoda to get you back to your hotel too. Remember to bargain with the taxi driver! :-)
People in Yangon generally can speak English.. no problems getting around... but I hope their transportation can be improved...
