When talking about Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar, which has charm in both culture and lifestyle new to me, mr.hotsia, one of the places I was very impressed with isJunction Center YangonA shopping and lifestyle hub located in the heart of Yangon. This place is not just a shopping mall but a meeting point for the younger generation and tourists who want to experience the true Yangon city life.

For travel from Yangon Airport to the city, I usually take a taxi for a flat rate of about 8 US dollars (which is 8,000 kyats in Myanmar). Yangon Airport is about 15 kilometers from downtown.

What is Junction Center Yangon and why do I like it?

Junction Center Yangon is a large shopping center that perfectly combines shops, restaurants, cafes, and seating areas. Walking inside, you feel modernity but still retain the simple Burmese charm, not as hectic as malls in Bangkok. This place is perfect for relaxing after touring temples and important sites in Yangon.

I like this spot because besides shopping for souvenirs, daily goods, and fashion clothes, you can also try a variety of Burmese food. There are local restaurants with flavors so good that Thai people love them, as well as international restaurants to choose from.
