Pyin Oo Lwin (Maymyo) ▼
Myanmar’s best- known colonial hill station on a plateau
over 1,000m above sea level, in the Shan Hill. Even at the
height of the hot season, Pyin U Lwin is pleasantly cool and
at certain times of the year it can get quite chilly. Best
of all, one can enjoy the fresh air of the Shan Hills.
Sweater-knitting is the biggest occupation in town. Getting
to Pyin U Lwin is part of its attraction. At the half-way
mark you pass ‘View Point’, which was spectacular views. The
standard transport around the town is miniature, enclosed
wagon pulled by a pony. Another highlight is the magnificent
botanical garden. Strawberries are one of the products – in
season ( February-March ) they’re cheap and delicious.
