Itinerary
Pyin Oo Lwin's National Kandawgyi Gardens is the only botanical garden in Myanmar. It houses a big collection of different flowers and plants. As for its beauty, it is a popular spot for locals who come for recreation. Also, there are three museums: Fossils Museum, Petrified Wood Museum, and Butterfly Museum.
The building of the Maha Ant Htoo Kan Thar pagoda has a history of its own. Originally, three marble Buddha images, sculpted in Mandalay, were transferred to their planned destination in China. On this journey, one of the Buddha statues fell from the lorry and could not be reloaded due to its weight. After many attempts, this image was finally left behind. Here, a pagoda was built for the travelers to pay homage.
In the afternoon, visit the Pwe Kauk waterfalls, a popular sport for Myanmar families to come for a picnic. The waterfalls are not particularly high, so you can take a pleasant walk around.

About Mandalay
Mandalay is a former royal capital on the Irrawaddy River in central Myanmar, a city of golden pagodas, teak monasteries and a hill of stairways.
Mandalay stands on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River in central Myanmar. King Mindon founded it in 1857 as the last royal capital of Burma, laying out a grid of streets around a square walled palace and moat, and it remained the royal seat until the British took the city in 1885. Mandalay Hill rises about 240 metres from the plain and is climbed by long covered stairways lined with shrines.
Top-ranked sights in Mandalay: Mandalay Hill, Shwenandaw Monastery, Mahamuni Buddha Temple.
