Today, you will visit Myitkyina and its surroundings. In town, we will see sights such as Su Taung Pyae Pagoda. We’ll also visit the Shwe Thar Lyaung Buddha Image, a reclining Buddha which was donated by a Japanese war veteran in memory of the Japanese soldiers and Myanmar nationals who died in World War II.
Then proceed to Myit Sone (1.5 hours drive). Literally meaning ‘confluence’, this town 38 kilometres from Myitkyina is the place where the Maykha and Malikha Rivers join to form the Irrawaddy River. The area is spectacularly beautiful and played a key role in Myanmar history.
