Yangon Shopping
One of the major shopping venues is this newly refaced central market - Bogloke Aung San Market. It actually is one of the oldest markets in Yangon, and is full of great stuff.

Other Shopping Venues
There are many venues for shopping beyond the Bogyoke Aung San Market. Here are some of these:
The Gems Mart is a good center for gemstones and jewelry
Plenty of selection with no buyers
