Gmina Dala

Dala Essentials

Located just across the Yangon River from the city center, Dala offers a stark contrast to the urban bustle of Yangon. This collection features the primary ferry connections, including the Nan Thida and Strand terminals, which serve as the town's lifeblood. Highlights include ChuChu, a social enterprise creating crafts from recycled materials, and the central Dala Market.
