Continuing south, after a few minutes you'll reach
Khaung Daing
, a quiet Intha vil-
lage known for its tofu, prepared using split yellow peas instead of soybeans. There
are some basic restaurants and teashops here.
Just past Khaung Daing, turn left into the gateway that leads to Hu Pin Inle
Khaung Daing Village Resort. The road here ends in yet another
hilltop temple
with
intermittent views of the lake.
TOP OF CHAPTER
Taunggyi
081 / POPULATION C200,000
Taunggyi is the administrative capital for the whole of Shan State. Perched on top of a
mountain, it's also a busy trading post, and the town markets are piled high with Chinese
and Thai goods freighted in daily via the border crossings at Mong La and Tachileik.
However, unless you've spent too much time in rural Shan State and are pining for the
big city and/or consumer goods, there's really little of interest here for the average visit-
or.
