Yangon Region, Administrative region in southern Myanmar
Yangon Region encompasses 10,171 square kilometers of territory, containing 45 townships and stretching from the Andaman Sea to the Bago mountains.
The region transformed from a Mon-controlled territory to British administration in 1852, becoming the center of colonial Burma's commercial activities.
The area contains numerous Buddhist temples, with registered monks forming significant religious communities across its urban and rural districts.
The region operates Myanmar's primary transportation hub, featuring an international airport, central railway station, and major highway connections to other provinces.
The Thilawa Special Economic Zone in southern Yangon Region functions as one of only three designated industrial development areas in Myanmar.
