Hsipaw:
Hsipaw is a town in Shan State, Myanmar on the riverbank of Duthawadi River. It is 200 km (124 mi) northeast of Mandalay. Hsipaw is perhaps one of the most well known and powerful saopha states of Shan State. According to the biography of Sao Hearn Hkam (the chief wife, Madhidevi of Sao Shwe Thaik, the first president of Myanmar and another saopha of Hsenwi), Hsipaw, along with Kengtung and Yawnghwe were the wealthiest and most powerful saopha states in Shan State.
The Saophas played fluctuating roles in regional Shan and national Burmese politics from the 11th century all the way till the 1962 military coup by General Ne Win.
Hsipaw is famous for the Bowgoy Pagoda, situated in Bowgoy Village about 6 miles far from Hsipaw.
You can take a trip to the beautiful palong(taann) nations mountain where you can see the most amazing mountain view. And the sunset of Hsipaw is famous and you can see the beautiful sunset and the overview of the town from sunset hill. You can enjoy the traditional foods such as shan noodle, rice soup, khawpok (traditional shan food makes with rice), pork rice (make to sour rice with pork) and you can drink dry tea and you can enjoy tea salad. Many seasonal natural fresh fruits such as orange, pine apple, water melon, passion, lychee, dragon fruit can be enjoyed.
The Central Market at Hsipaw is one of the best markets to visit in all of Myanmar. Shans, Kachins, and other tribals come here to trade regularly. Because so few tourists visit Hsipaw, the merchandise is primarily for villagers who go there to shop. Radios, spare parts, diverse foodstuffs, and of course, Shan clothing (trousers, hats, sandals) and the ubiquitous lyongi. The market begins and ends early, starting at 3:30am and pretty much wrapping up by 6am.Sunset watching at Five Buddha Hill or Nine Buddha Hill is another recommended pastime. Both hills are about 2km out of town and are accessible by bicycle.The Bawgyo Paya, 8km out of town in the direction of Mandalay, is a revered Shan pagoda. In addition to the usual complement of Buddha's, the pagoda also has some ancient statues of Hindu origin in the plaza outside.

Myanmar Pyin Oo Lwin Part 18

Pyin Oo Lwin:
Pyin Oo Lwin or Pyin U Lwin is a scenic hill town in Mandalay Division, Myanmar, located in the Shan Highland, some 67 kilometers (42 mi) east of Mandalay, and at an altitude of 1070 meters (3510 ft).The town has now reverted to Maymyo - if it ever changed with locals. Many of the bungalows and villas that the British built are now occupied by rich Indians or Chinese.
The town began as a military outpost established near a small Shan village with two dozen households [1] situated on the Lashio-Mandalay trail between Nawnghkio and Mandalay. In 1896, a permanent military post was established in the town and later, because of its climate, it became a hill station and the summer capital of British Burma. The establishment in Burma (civil, commercial and military) would move to Maymyo during the hot season to escape from the high heat and humidity of Rangoon. During British rule and through the 1970s, Maymyo had a large Anglo-Burmese population, but this steadily declined. During the Japanese occupation, as many Anglos were concentrated in and around Maymyo, the Japanese incarcerated many of them for fear of their loyalty to the British very close to Maymyo. Today though, Maymyo still has one of the larger hold over populations of Anglo-Burmese in the country. The British named the location Maymyo, literally May's Town in Burmese, after Colonel May, a veteran of the Indian Mutiny and commander of the Bengal Regiment temporarily stationed at the location of the town in 1887. The military government of Burma renamed the town Pyin U Lwin.
The town has approximately 10,000 Indian and 8,000 Gorkha inhabitants who settled in Maymyo during British rule. Today, Pyin Oo Lwin has a thriving Eurasian community, consisting mostly of Anglo-Burmese and Anglo-Indians.
Sweater knitting, flower and vegetable gardens, strawberry and pineapple orchards, coffee plantations and cow rearing are the main local businesses. There has been an influx of Chinese immigrants (especially from Yunnan) in recent years. The city is a resort town for visitors from Myanmar's major cities during the summertime and a popular stop for foreign tourists during the winter season.
Established in 1915, the National Botanical Gardens and the adjacent Pyin Oo Lwin Nursery are famous attractions of Pyin Oo Lwin. The beautifully created national garden and the new National Landmarks Gardens are unique. A 4-acre (16,000 m2) orchid garden is planned for 2007.
Peik Chin Myaung Cave:
Peik Chin Myaung is a limestone stalactite cave situated south of Wetwun village, near Pyin Oo Lwin, Myanmar. The cave is an interest site of tourism just 23 km from Pyin Oo Lwin, on the Lashio road. The cave was firstly developed by local Nepalese or Gakhar and later co-opted by the Myanmar government as a tourist attraction in 1990 The cave covers an area of 45 acre, where local plants named Peik Chin, alike long pepper vine used to grow by the mouth of the cave. Its history estimated to be 230 millions and 310 millions years old from the formation of limestone and hillocks. After established to enshrine with many Buddhist stupas inside the cave, it also being called Maha Nadamu cave. Despite the imaginable enshrine room to the pilgrimage, the access down to the cave, which leads with a road around 3 km off from Wutwun village, was a tumble countryside road not actually comfortable to access by taxis.
The local people and many Myanmar pilgrims enjoyed having a good swim at the entrance of the cave. The swallow water flows and cascade from the 600m deep cave. In turns, many locals from Pyin Oo Lwin develop shops with some local products such as wine and dried meat (satt tar chuak) and souvenirs to suit for visitors

Myanmar - A backpacker's journey through Southeat Asia

This is footage from trip to Myanmar in Janurary 2012 in about 5 minutes.

I went to Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake (taking no airplanes) - except for when I came and left Myanmar. I took only buses, boats, bicycles, motorbikes, rickshaws, and songthaews within the country itself. I had an amazing time, minus the horrible case of food poisoning I got in Bagan.

The best way to travel in Myanmar 2017

I didn't know what to expect really. I left Australia to meet my friend Julian, he has been in previous Thailand vlogs.
We go on a journey through Myanmar which takes us into the mountains and caves of Myanmar. Hire a scooter it's a must.

The people are so wonderful and friendly it blew me away.

I hope you enjoy Part 1 of Myanmar and it inspires you to consider it as something you would like to see. It truly is worth it.
