Yangon
A golden pagoda that dominates the skyline and, according to legend, holds strands of the Buddha's actual hair, colonial architecture slowly being reclaimed by tropical decay, and a tea shop culture where an afternoon can vanish entirely over one cup.
The best time to visit Yangon is Nov–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 32°C (89°F). Local time there is 17:02 (UTC+6:30).
