Shepherding a flock of tourists through the traffic-congested streets of Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, a local tour guide shouts over the roar of oncoming vehicles.
Here, on Bogolay Zay Street amid the moss-covered, weather-stained, early-20th Century facades in the historic centre of the city, the history of the colonial buildings that make up old Rangoon, once the capital of Burma, begins to come into focus.
To the right, the former residence of famed Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda; to the left, one can still see the signage for the Young Women's Christian Association, circa 1902.
In the distance is the city's most iconic building - The Secretariat - where General Aung San, the metaphorical father of modern Myanmar and actual father of Nobel laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, was assassinated in 1947.

Good article. Thanks for posting the link!
Yangon needs to do everything it can to preserve those historic buildings. Tourists love seeing old architecture like that, and that will continue to be a positive thing for the country if they can preserve the buildings. But I fear the greedy developers will ruin some of the beauty or destroy many of these old buildings.

Yangon will remain as an old town district as its outskirts offer
proper infrastructures, facilities and car parks.. not more than next
ten years.
