Early morning, you will leave by car to a major port and important trading center known as Syriam and visit Yele Pagoda at Kyauktan; it sits on a small island in Hmaw Wun Creek, a tributary of Yangon River. It is approximately 20 km south of Yangon. This unusual temple was built under King Bawgasena in the third century BCE.

The temple hosts an impressive collection of paintings, sculptures and other fine demonstrations of Burmese Buddhist artwork and craftsmanship. Explore the pagodas and riverside market where you can buy the dry fish, prawns and marine products. Next we will visit Kyaikkhauk Pagoda; Kyaik Khauk Pagoda was built on a hillock named Hlaing Pote Kone on the road from Thanlyin to Kyauktan. It features an imposing golden Mon-style stupa similar to Shwedagon Pagoda across the river before returning to Yangon.
