Myanmar Culture & Nature
BHAMAW
 Situated about 187 km south of Myitkyina is Bhamaw. With the
Ayeyarwaddy river narrowing into its 14 mile long Second Defile
near Bhamaw, unique opportunity to make boat ride excursions
from Bhamaw into the second defile is given to the travelers by
the Ayeyarwaddy river. Excursion by boat into the second defile
is a leisurely and pleasant way to enjoy the most spectacular
scenery of this defile with exotic high cliffs over the river
and it is also an unforgettable experience.
KATHA
It is on the bank of the mighty Ayeyarwaddy River, 319km from
Myitkyina. Compared with Myitkyina and bhamaw, Katha is more
peaceful and pleasant due to its inaccessibility. Although a
little known, being a place stationed by British officers, it
becomes famous for its most interesting historical buildings
like the police station, the huge walled jail, the old hospital,
forest office, some residents of British officers. Among them,
George Orwell is the most famous colonial police officer for his
novel “Burmese Day “well known to the world. Orwell’s tannic
compound and his residence still stand in the downtown. Most of
the people will come and take a bath on the bank of the river on
the sunset time. Bicycling and Strolling along the riverside
road will be a fascinating way to cover it. Most of the cargo
ships and river vassals will make a night stop at Kathar. It is
one of the important ports for local trading on the river
Ayeyarwaddy.
TAGAUNG
 Tagaung lies 127 miles north of Mandalay on the left bank of
the Ayeyarwaddy river. There is a popular saying in Myanmar “The
Myanmar originated in Tagaung”. That means that first Myanmar
civilization originated in Tagaung region situated in the
central Myanmar. Although Tagaung is said to be the oldest city
in Myanmar, the excavation produces no evidences, but a few clay
votive tablets datable to Pagan period. However, by radiocarbon
analysis of the charcoal specimens from the excavated sites, the
wooden gates can be determined to belong to 2nd to 3rd century,
and the assembly hall, datable to the century A.D.
