Once the summer capital of the Raj in Burma, Pyin U Lwin still has some of the ‘hill station’ look and feel to it, which makes it unique. Due to its history as a summer capital and military centre of the Indian Army during British dominance, it has both a large Indian population and strong Anglo-Burmese and Anglo-Indian communitues.
In Pyin U Lwin you will find few ubiquitous pagodas. Some colonial Tudor houses can be seen around the National Kandawgyi Gardens, and walking around is a nice way to experience how the Raj used to live. There are many churches as well, the oldest dating back to about 1910.
Things to see in Pyin U Lwin:
The National Kandawgyi Gardens, Purcell Tower, English Cemetery, Shiva Temple, Chinese Temple and The Candacraig.
