Nyaungshwe


It is located south of Sakangyi and south-west of Taunggyi. Bawrithat Pagoda lies in the southern part of the town.[2][3]


Nyaungshwe is the tourist hub for visiting Inle Lake and Inlay Lake Wetland Sanctuary. It consists of one main thoroughfare with numerous side streets and a few parallel roads. The main street has numerous shops, several restaurants, a few stupas, travel agencies and a market (located behind the storefronts). Near the end of this road, a bridge crosses the river channel near an impressive mirror-tiled stupa.


The town serves as a marina for the numerous long boats carrying tourists into the lake. The lake itself is located a few kilometers south through a river channel.


Nyaungshwe can be reached by bus, car, or by plane via the airport in Heho, located about a one-hour drive away.
