Today, is to go back to Mandalay, from Hsipaw. Friend suggested using road instead of train, to see different view and that was a good suggestion, as we see different sceneries, along the way. Half way before reaching Mandalay airport, the driver was nice enough to stop at a view point for us to take pic which is shared below. It costs about Kyat 90,000 to charter the whole taxi from Hsipaw town centre to Mandalay airport and from Mandalay to Yangon city, we were using Myanmar airways which we booked via Cheapair platform, costing about USD 120 per pax/ Everything went smoothly and we arrived to destination on time, and had our beer and meal together with our friend, before moving to Shewadagon Pagoda for a nite time visit which is a totally new experience and less crowded.
The view point
Myanmar Airways for flight from Mandalay to Yangon
Beer together and meal in Yangon restaurant. Beer was good.
Shwedagon Pagoda at nite time was totally different from day time visit. It is cooling, less crowded and more quiet which is nice for a visit, for prayers and for taking pictures. I would recommend nite time trip if you can arrange your itinerary well.
Yangon, the 5th time visit, and after a lapse of 4 years, is totally changed. The roads are wider, cars are a lot more and traffic is very heavy....this is something I dislike but with better economy and development, that is a usual case. Hopefully, they are able to plan out their subway system in advance,
