Situated over 1000 meters above sea-level, about 69 km away
from Mandalay is Pyin Oo Lwin, accessible by car and train. With
its climate being cool and pleasant the whole year round,
British government designated as the summer seat of government
during the British colonial time in Myanmar. Pyin Oo Lwin is
well-known for its colonial-style houses with large compound and
pine trees, eucalyptus and silver-oak abound in town. Today Pyin
Oo Lwin serves as a summer hill resort attracting large number
of not only local visitors but also international tourists
during the hot season. Places of interest in its vicinity are
Peik Chin Myaung Cave, Pwe Kauk Waterfall, Ani-Sakan Waterfall,
Morning Market, Pyichit Buddha Image and National Kandawgyi
Garden. Another must is a visit to Purcell Tower right in the
middle of the town, one of the ten clocks made in 1934 in
commemoration of the silver jubilee of the reign of King George
V of the United Kingdom. Riding in one-horse carriage is a
popular and charming feature of Pyin Oo Lwin life. While in Pyin
Oo Lwin be sure to make an excursion to Goteik Viaduct built by
British, considered the second highest viaduct in the world.
