Excellent article and photographs. I’m visiting Yangon in November 2016, and am passionate about architectural heritage and decay (see @adamxphotos on Instagram) – please can you advise how you got permission to photograph inside? Best wishes, Adam
Former Myanmar Railway Headquarters; A Colonial Building in Yangon
Posted on May 31st, by Juan in Monuments & Sights. 2 comments
This well known colonial building is the former Myanmar railway headquarters. It is located on the corner of Bogyoke Aung San Road and Sule Pagoda Road in Yangon (just next to Bogyoke Market)
It consists of 3 colonial buildings which are surrounded by beautiful gardens and a spacious entrance.
The colonial building will be turned into a five-star hotel in two years following the Government’s demand for more luxury accommodation in the city.
The Government is focused on improving the quality and quantity of accommodation on offer in Yangon to host the increasing number of business travelers and tourists.

Thanks Adam. You’ll love Yangon’s colonial buildings! I was able to visit inside because I work for the company that are carrying out restoration work there. Generally this site is not possible to visit.
Happy travels in Myanmar!
Cheers,
Juan
