Sitting Yangon?
In fact, ancient Yangon resembles New York City and is surrounded by long riverbanks. The two rivers that surround the city are truly iconic for transportation and business.
Such richness is
now a thing of the past, and it is being replaced by ruined people, goods, and
wreckage. Since the good times of Yangon, with the economic growth, Indian and
Chinese tribes have been Yangon's economic drivers and still live in the heart
of the city.
Along with this
famous port of Yangon, the Chinatown of Chinese tribes is still an integral
part of Rangoon. The two town like a Latha and Lanmadaw townships are part of
Yangon, where most Chinese live. Especially Latha Road and 19th Street; the
area around 20th Street was one of Yangon's nightlife destinations for
international tourists. It was also the end of Yangon's triumphant and happy
nights.
Rich Chinese
food; the night market selling traditional Chinese consumer goods and the
beauty under the lights of the Chinese monastery on Latha Road. At the top of
18th Street, which is more than 100 years old, there are Mahjong under the
Chinese Temple. Bottle sound, the sound of knocking; Artistic lifestyles, such
as the knock on a chef's spoon, have been around for almost 100 years and are
now almost disappears.
After 2016,
Rangoon has faced a number of changes. There were good and bad ones. Some
things can be expected to be good for the future, but some things have
immediate consequences. One of the reasons for this was the relocation of shops
around 19th Chinatown Road to Yangon Strand Road.
Now, The Yangon
government's dream of being the longest night market in Southeast Asia with a
container bars and Restaurants, shops on Yangon Strand Road. There was shops and shops is fading with
instability, and the future of shopkeepers remains uncertain. Whether or not
the nightlife of the Chinatown will be revived remains with the unpredictable
Burmese political process.
Growing
population and city is wide, Yangon is rising with chaos. In 2017, a water taxi
system was launched for traffic on the two surrounding rivers. But the
complexities of power and authority have slowed progress. As a result, it has
failed miserably.
But there is
another potential west coast of Yangon. There are still people who want to
build a large piece of land as the future of Yangon. Despite controversial infrastructure
development needs, land prices in Dalla, west of Rangoon, have skyrocketed over
the past decade. Looking forward to the beach hotel that has existed since the
founding of Rangoon, not only their ancestors but also the people of today see
the growing city of Yangon every day for a century by ferry. The need for a
bridge was one of their dreams. Can a bridge really change the future of
Yangon?
The Yangon-Dalla
bridge project began in the last two years as a friendly between Korea and
Myanmar. This is a significant change in Yangon. Unfortunately, the events of
2021 have put an end to that change. Similarly, contemporary projects with the
more than hundred year-old railway station at Yangon station are out of order. Beautiful
roads, rich colonial artifacts are still intact, and with long, beautiful
riverbanks, Yangon can be as imaginative and modern as it could be. But stop it
happen?
