The Strand Hotel, a famous national landmark, is situated on Strand Road, overlooking the Yangon (Rangoon) River, centrally located in the heart of Yangon within the city's main commercial and diplomatic district.

With a civilisation that's more than 2,500 years old, Burma (Myanmar) posesses a rich and vibrant cultural tradition. Great natural beauty combines with magnificent temple architecture and everywhere the visitor encounters welcoming and hospitable people. Myanmar was once one of Asia's most inaccessible countries. Having turned its back on the world, Myanmar escaped the excesses of commercialisation. As a result, the country has retained an enviable way of life from which we can all learn. Today Myanmar has opened her doors, and as a tourist destination is just beginning to flower, presenting a terrific opportunity for those who wish to explore this unique land. Buddhism, more than anything else, has shaped Burmese history and culture. Although Myanmar is a devoutly Buddhist country, the people have retained a wealth of lore and superstitions which date back to the animistic beliefs of their ancestors. Buddhism, a tolerant faith, does not contradict these earlier traditions, which have become entwined with the national religion, giving a rich texture to spiritual life.
