Colonial Architecture: Pyin Oo Lwin

Описание: Colonial Architecture: Pyin Oo Lwin has one of the largest and best-preserved collections of British colonial-era residential villas in Southeast Asia. You can find well-maintained wooden cottages, brick-and-timber houses, and grand mansions that showcase the architectural styles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Purcell Tower: This is a prominent landmark in the center of town. It's a clock tower that was a gift from the English company, Gillette and Johnson Co., to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee in 1934. Its chimes are said to align with those of Big Ben in London, a clear nod to the town's British connection.

The Candacraig (Thiri Myaing Hotel): This colonial mansion, built in 1904, was originally a guesthouse for staff of the Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation. It's an excellent example of colonial architecture and offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of the time.

Horse-Drawn Carriages: A unique and charming part of the town's heritage is the use of horse-drawn carriages as a mode of transportation. They are a popular way for visitors to tour the town and its colonial sites.
