The Aung San Market in the center of Yangon was founded in 1926 in the late British colonial rule. The original name was Sgoth Market (Scott's Market), which was named in honor of a civil servant named James John Sgoth (James George Scott) during the British colonial era. After Myanmar's independence in 1948, the Sgoth Market was renamed Aung San Market under the name of General Aung San, Myanmar's "father of independence". 🌟 Highlights: Aung San Market is famous for its British colonial architecture and a pedestrian street paved with cobblestones.

    Aung San Market is mainly Wen play, jewelry, jade, wood carvings, ethnic costumes, etc. There are not many people in it. It is estimated that it is affected by the situation in Myanmar, but it can still be seen. The locals are also friendly. If you are not interested in these goods, it is enough to spend an hour on a horse.

    If you understand, a good place to buy emeralds and jewelry. The boss is Chinese, and the signboard is also Chinese. Of course, the waiter will introduce you to you in Chinese. During the epidemic, there was no hustle and bustle in imagination, but you went to the private agency in the market. You will be very welcome.

    Bogyoke Aung San Market aka Scott Market is the most popular market in Yangon where you can find silks, jade, and other precious gems. You can also try a lot of Burmese traditional foods and snacks there 😍 P.S. Don’t forget to bargain.

    The Aung Shan market is also called the Wengshan General Market, and the local people are called the General Market. It's worth visiting, but the expectation is not too high, just like China's collection market, which sells everything, mainly jade and gold. It is said that Myanmar people like wearing gold jewelry very much. However, there is no standard to verify the authenticity of jade, your suggestion is not to buy, if it is taken back as a letter to friends, you can buy some small Fengling made of jade, we must compare the goods! I bought a box of yellow things that local people painted on their faces. It was said that they could whiten and remove acne. At that time, there were three bottles of RMB 2400 in one box. I bought them decisively. I thought the local people were honest. I went to other houses and asked them about the price of one bottle. Liu asked for RMB 3000. Good pit sister! Everyone should be cautious when shopping, for fear of thieves, I do not always take out my mobile phone to send photos! But you can still recommend the shopkeeper in the photo, the specific location is not remembered, only remember the remote, his handicraft is very good, the aunt is also very enthusiastic, I only bought two cloth hangings, she saw that I was too hot to send me a fan, I still gave her 1000 Myanmar coins when I left! The general feeling is that Burmese people are very simple, but when there are too many people and more chaotic, they should keep their belongings in good order! Thank you! And local taxis are bargainable, and drivers are enthusiastic.
