Kalaw, another hill station, is 1400 metres
above sea level. Many of
the Tudor-style houses and English gardens
of colonial days remain. It is
located 70 km west of Taunggyi.
About 45 km drive from Kalaw is Pindaya, well known for its extensive
limestone caves. The caves are set deep in the hillsides and there stands
at the entrance, a 15 meter high Shwe U Min Pagoda. There are some 6000
Buddha images and interesting stalagmites.
This vast picturesque lake, 900 metres above
sea level, is one of the
main tourist attractions in Myanmar. The
lake, 22 km long and 10 km
across, has a population of some 150,000,
many of whom live on floating
islands of vegetation. Inlay Lake, natural
and unpolluted, is famous for
its scenic beauty and the unique leg rowing
of the Inthas, the native lake
dwellers.
