Walking
From the center of Sanchaung, head northwest on Yaw Min Gyi Road. Continue straight for about 800 meters until you reach the intersection with the main road, Pyay Road. Here, you can take a left turn onto Pyay Road.
Walking
Walk along Pyay Road for approximately 1 kilometer. Keep an eye out for the large roundabout at the intersection with Kaba Aye Pagoda Road. The Bogyoke Statue is located near this roundabout.
Walking
Once you reach the roundabout, the Bogyoke Statue will be visible from a distance. Approach the statue from the south side, where you can take photos and enjoy the surrounding park area.
Public Transport
If you prefer to take a bus, you can catch a local bus from Sanchaung. Look for buses heading towards downtown Yangon and ask the driver to drop you off at the Pyay Road stop near the roundabout. The fare is usually around 200-500 MMK (Myanmar Kyat). From there, it's a short walk to the statue.
