  • Very quiet due to few foreign visitors to Myanmar at this time. There are quite a few gemstone and jewelry shops in the market, however, I don’t know how I can identify quality of them exactly. You can drink Myanmar milk tea and see the daily life of vendors in the market like below pictures.
  • Good place for Jade and gems, almost big shops closed and haven't opened after Covid, but still a lot, when you buy Jade here always ask for certificate, be careful with the guys offer to show their relative shops here, they got money from shop when you buy, just go around a take a look!
