A historic landmark and a tourist destination in Yangon, the Bogyoke Aung San Market’s centenary celebration opened yesterday.
The centenary celebration was

minister, regional cabinet members, department officials and guests attended

established in 1926. It was named after Mr Gavin Scott, the Municipal Commissioner
of the time. In 2026, Yangon’s iconic heritage market reaches its centenary,
standing as a living testament to the city’s history and culture.
