General Post Office, Colonial postal building in downtown Yangon, Myanmar.

The General Post Office spans four stories with a prominent clock tower, high ceilings, and large windows typical of early 20th-century architecture.

Constructed during British rule, this neoclassical building served as a central communications hub between Singapore and Calcutta in the colonial network.

The building represents a meeting point where different communities exchange letters and packages, maintaining connections across Myanmar's diverse regions.

The main branch operates daily postal services, money transfers, and savings accounts, with separate counters for domestic and international mail.

The original wooden service counters and metalwork details remain intact, displaying craftsmanship from the building's 1908 construction period.
