Former capital Yangon is emerging in to an era of glittering possibilities. With vibrant streets lined with food vendors, colourful open-air markets and some of the most impressive colonial architecture you’ll find in Southeast Asia, there are many reasons to visit.

- offer a slack-jawed prayer of wonder at the Shwedagon Paya, the pyramid of gold that is the Burma of old

 - view grand colonial architecture on a walking tour of downtown Yangon

 - pick up some Burmese-style slippers or a longyi (sarong-style lower garment) at Bogyoke Aung San Market

Coverage includes: When to Go, Yangon & around, Bago Region, Ayeyarwady Region.


Hanoi’s streets surge with scooters vying for right of way amid the din of constantly blaring horns, and all around layers of history reveal periods of French and Chinese occupation – offering a glimpse into the resilience of ambitious, proud Hanoians.

- experience Asia at its raw, pulsating best in the labyrinthine streets of the Old Quarter

- celebrate the strength and sensuality of women at the unique Vietnamese Women’s Museum

- piece together the country’s ethnic mosaic at the wonderful Vietnam Museum of Ethnology

Coverage includes: History, Sights, Activities, Courses, Tours, Festivals & Events, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking, Entertainment, Shopping and Around Hanoi.

You can pick and choose from complete guides and individual chapters, and download them to any device you like.
