Yangon, the largest city and the former capital of Myanmar, has more than 150 streets. The interesting point of these streets is that people of the same kind will gather in one area. The Chinatown in Yangon, for example, has a large population of Chinese, Chinese restaurants and so on. Some of the streets are inhabited by Indian and Bengal people, with their religious sites, Hinduism, mosque, etc. Geographically, the northwestern part of Myanmar is adjacent to India. Because of the close proximity, there are many stories in which the British occupied India first and then occupied Myanmar, and Myanmar was once designated as a place in India.
