Thingyan set to boost PyinOoLwin tourism

From the aspect of the transport and the fine weather, the visitor arrival to PyinOoLwin Township in Mandalay Region is expected to rise during the Thingyan holidays, according to the township res­idents.

 

The weather in PyinOoLwin is as fine as that in Taunggyi, Inlay and Kalaw plus better transportation, hoping the visitors’ arrival to increase during the summer holiday and Thingyan, said residents.

 

“On the grounds of the fine weather and the convenient transportation, we hope the visitor arrival in Thingyan will increase. PyinOoLwin is highland and the weather is cold like Taunggyi, Inlay and Kalaw, so I think the visi­tor arrival will be large during this summer holiday and Thingyan,” said a resident.

 

Last year’s flower festival was thronged with people and visitors arriv­ing at Pwe Kauk waterfall which added to new tourist attraction areas was also large, even several thousands of people visited daily during the festival.

 

“PyinOoLwin was quite vibrant in last year’s flower festival and December holidays. Now, cherry trees are in blossom and ‘red silk cotton’ (Albizia lebbeck) flowers will blossom in summer. The town is also beautiful with seasonal flowers,” he added. — Thit Taw/ZS
