Strand Road (Burmese: ကမ်းနားလမ်း, pronounced [káɰ̃ná láɰ̃]) is a major road in downtown Yangon, Burma. It crosses the city in a west–east direction and runs parallel to the Yangon River. It contains many important government buildings, including the Ministry of Trade building, court and the British embassy. It also contains the 5-star hotel, Strand Hotel, built in 1901.[1]
