Over 1000 metres above
sea level, Pyin-Oo-Lwin is a popular hill-station about 69 km away from Mandalay. It is
well known for its colonial-style houses with large compound and pine trees, eucalyptus and silver-oak abound in town. Delightfully cool and pleasant the whole year round, the 175 hectare Botanical Garden, Pwe Kauk and Ani-sakan Waterfalls, Goteik Viaduct and Peik Chin Myaung Caves are places of interest.
