Pyin Oo Lwin, situated in the Mandalay Division on the edge of the Shan Plateau, was formerly known as Maymyo, named after a British officer. It served as the summer capital for the British governor and other officials during the colonial era and was a favored retreat for Europeans escaping the heat. At an elevation of over 1,000 meters (3,250 feet), it offers fresh, cool air and features numerous colonial buildings. Just a 2-hour drive from Mandalay, the Governor’s House stands as a prime example of colonial architecture. Natural attractions like Pyeik Chin Miang Cave and BE Waterfall provide refreshing air and scenic views, while the Mahar Anthookater Paya offers a panoramic view of Pyin Oo Lwin. The National Kandawgyi Botanical Garden is another highlight, resembling a natural park.
