Mingaladon Township Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

This place is known by locals as the war cemetery or the Allied cemetery. It is an incredibly well maintained cemetery honoring the soldiers who lost their lives in WWI and WWII. We were overwhelmed by the number of graves and the 27,000 other soldiers who were honored but unable to be buried. If you are in Yangon you should definitely make the trip to the cemetery. To get here we took the circle train out of Yangon Central Railway station to the stop Kyaikkale (one after the Golf Course stop). From that station we walked to the road and hailed a taxi. It took 4 or 5 to find someone who could speak enough English to take us there. We paid 8000 Kyat (appr. 8 USD) for the ride there, for him to wait, and for the ride back to the station. It takes about 15-20 minutes in the taxi to get there. The locals use the cemetery more like a park and were more interested in us than anything else. This was irritating but as tourism is so little still it is understandable. Entrance is free.
