All year round
Day 1 Mandalay - Lashio
Depart for Lashio after breakfast. First town we are going to
pass through PyinOoLwin. The road is up hill. PyinOoLwin (Maymyo)
has 43 miles 69 kilometres away from Mandalay and over fifteen
hundreds feet above sea level. It is famous as a hill resort.
The weather is pleasant and cold weather all the year round
because of higher elevation, thick forest and the blooming of
the various kinds of seasonal flowers, so, it is called a town
of flowers.
After passing through PyinOoLwin Township, we are entering
Northern Shan State. Road is up and down along hill ranges
surrounded by lush and green forest and vegetations. Within an
hour drive, you are going to see Got-hteik viaduct. The Gokteik
Bridge, a structure of steel trestle construction for railway
line to Lashio began in 1901 by an American company - the
Pennsylvania and Maryland Bridge Construction and completed in
1913. It is 2260 feet long and was built 320 feet high above a
deep ragged stone rock valley. The Rock itself is 550 feet high
above the small river that flows under the rock. Although the
viaduct is destroyed in the second-World war, Myanma railway
repaired the bridge. Due to its technical and natural condition
it was considered as a masterpiece of
the world standard. Mr
Paul Theroux said his book " The Great Railway Bizarre" called
the viaduct " a monster of silver geometry in all the ragged
rock and jungle---its presence was bizarre". It is the most
important viaduct in Mandalay Lashio rail-road section and the
second highest viaduct in the world.
