Ngapali Beach

Perhaps the most popular beach in the vicinity is at the neighboring village of Ngapali. The resort is also ideal for scuba diving and snorkeling activities.

Inle Lake

An oasis surrounded by the southern Shan Plateau, Inle Lake may be the area's main attraction for visitors, but it should not be the only one. About 550 meters (1800 feet) and 27 km(17 miles) by road uphill from the lake is Taunggyi, a former British hill station.
