Pyin Oo Lwin (May Myo)
Most delightful hill station in Myanmar, PYIN OO LWIN (formerly called Maymyo) has a lot of things to offer for leisure travelers. Since it is above 1000m above sea level, it has a fine weather, agreeable temperature. For locals, it is where they escape from the heat and dust of the plains. The town provides all the flowers necessary for the big city Mandalay and everywhere colorful flowers are growing in abundance all over the town. Dotted around the town are half-timbered Tudor style cottages surrounded by well-kept gardens. Since the place is full of visitors all year round several of these cottages have now been converted into hotels. Its market, PWE KAUK or B.E. Waterfall, the DAT TAW GYAIK Waterfall, the famous Botanical Garden and the Chinese Temple are the main attractions of the town.
