EATING AND DRINKING
Shamie Tiyet Rd. A typical Muslim restaurant serving up
tasty biryani and curries, just around the corner from the
Friendship Hotel . Daily 7am-9pm.
Sky Beer Bar Tiyet Rd. Young locals pack out this bar in
the evenings, which isn't surprising given that it serves
draught beer and cheap barbecue. There are also standard
Chinese dishes for around K2500. Daily lunch & dinner.
WHAT TO SEE AND DO
he commercial centre of town, marked
by the Purcell Tower , is rather more
down-to-earth than the southern suburbs
and has a flavour of South Asia thanks to
the descendants of Indian and Nepalese
workers brought here by the British.
Further east, the daily Shan Market on
Circular Road attracts farmers from
surrounding areas and is at its best from
6.30-8am.
Circular Road is also one of the
richest hunting grounds for the town's
colonial architecture . Some of the
buildings have retained their old
function, such as the grand Croxton
Hotel (now the Gandamar Myaing
Hotel ) and the No. 4 Basic Education
High School, both on Circular Road.
Others have changed function: the
British Club on Anawrahta Road is now
PYIN OO LWIN
Founded in 1896 as a British hill station
known as Maymyo, Pyin Oo Lwin remains
a popular escape from the heat of
Mandalay. hese days, though, most
visitors are well-off Burmese who stay in
comfortable hotels or holiday homes
south of the centre. he town is also an
important military training centre and
a sign as you approach from Mandalay
hails “the triumphant elite of the future”.
