Where to stay in Ahlone
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms in Ahlon Township answer to the surrounding city rather than to West Gymnasium, the single address the register ties to these eleven wards, and Yangon keeps the real choice for anyone without a fixed reason to sleep here. Dagon Township adjoins it. Lanmadaw Township, Sanchaung Township and Kyimyindaing Township close the remaining borders, so a bed in any of them leaves Ahlone a short crossing away rather than a journey.

About Ahlone
What are the main landmarks in Ahlone?
One entry, and it is a sports hall. West Gymnasium is the only place in Ahlon Township that the register names, which leaves the eleven wards without a listed temple, museum or market to build a day around. The Yangon River is the other fixture.
Dagon Township and Lanmadaw Township hold whatever else a visitor came to Yangon for.
What is the history of Ahlone?
The file records no charter and no founding year. Ahlone appears instead as a unit of Yangon drawn to about one and a half square kilometres, its eleven wards fixed against Sanchaung Township, Kyimyindaing Township, Dagon Township and Lanmadaw Township. Administration, not chronicle. Myanmar and Yangon Region carry the dated record that this township's own entry lacks.
Where is Ahlone?
Ahlone covers about one and a half square kilometres of Yangon, held between the Yangon River on one boundary and Dagon Township on another.
