Hsipaw
082 / POPULATION C54,000 / ELEV APPROX 700M
More foreigners are finding their way to delightful Hsipaw (pronounced ' see -paw' or '
tee -bor'), drawn by the possibility of easily arranged hill treks that are more authentic
than those around Kalaw or in northern Thailand. Many people, though, find the town's
laidback vibe and intriguing history (it was once a Shan royal city) as much of an attrac-
tion and spend far longer here than they intended. With just enough tourist infrastructure
to be convenient, Hsipaw remains a completely genuine northern Shan State town.
