It is a former capital city of Arakan in Myanmar. The city is scattered with the ruins of pagodas. This 15th century city was founded by Arakan king Min Saw Mon. But a few people know this city cos the government didn't let anyone know about this country.By any means they (government) want to stop the people going to Rakhine state.

Burma, officially the Union of Myanmar (Burmese: , pronounced [pjdunzṵ mjəm ninŋndɔ̀]), is the largest country by geographical area in mainland Southeast Asia. The country is bordered by China on the northeast, Laos on the east, Thailand on the southeast, Bangladesh on the west, and India on the northwest, with the Bay of Bengal to the southwest. One-third of Burma's total perimeter, 1,930 kilometers (1,199 mi), forms an uninterrupted coastline.

Yangon (also known as Rangoon) is the largest city and former capital of Burma. Although the military government has officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw since March 2006,[2] Yangon, with a population of 6 million, continues to be the country's largest city and the most important commercial center.

with family and friends it was interesting and full of tight scedules it was different from many other places I've been to. I like the place.... but people and poliies always make a differences...

A wonderful place with lots of beautiful sights. The pagodas are simply amazing and worth more than one visit. The amazing part of the entire nation is the tremendous amount of peace and contentment around. People are amazingly happy with the life that they lead. Simply great!
