We are located in the quiet and exclusive residential area of Yangon- at the intersection of Inya Road and Than Lwin Road. At 5 AM, you will see many exercising in following areas nearby.

Shwedagon Pagoda

It is just 1.6 km (1 mile), a 20 minutes walk, from Winner Inn to Shwedagon Pagoda’s northern gate. If you want more exercise, you can run to the Pagoda’s other three gates and also to the parks nearby. Remember that you are required to wear long pants, skirt or dress that falls to your ankles if you want to enter the gates and go up the Pagoda. Route Here
