Yangon Zoological Gardens

The prime reason for visiting Yangon's 1901-vintage zoo, covering 58 acres, is to take a rest in its leafy grounds and view handsome architectural features such as the King Edward VII Carnivore House (1915). Very sadly for more than 1000 animals and birds who live here, the conditions are far from great. The elephant shows are particularly upsetting spectacles.
