Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Pagodas in Lashio are located in different places: at the city entrance, on a hill in the center, and on Lake Mountain. There is also a public garden, markets, and the nearby Lashio Hot Spring Resort. These different attractions can help you plan: religious buildings, outdoor activities, and food and shopping offer various ways to spend your time in and around Lashio.

Pagodas by Location and Theme

Yan Taing Aung Pagoda is considered one of Lashio’s most distinctive pagodas and is located at the entrance to the city. At the pagoda entrance, a “WE LOVE LASHIO” sign makes a suitable backdrop for souvenir photos. A 2020 travel article calls Mansu Pagoda the most famous pagoda in Lashio. Kabar Aye Pagoda, also called Kyaw Hein Pagoda, is located on a high hill in the center. Its location distinguishes it from the pagodas on Lake Mountain: Naga Yone Pagoda and Swe Taw Pagoda are both there. A 2020 travel article describes the lakes on Lake Mountain as Lashio’s water source.

Lake Mountain and the Public Garden

A 2020 travel article describes tree-lined roads and lakes on Lake Mountain that supply Lashio with water. The article also mentions visitors relaxing and fishing there; some drink beer or share a meal with their family on a mat. The description of the mountain therefore covers both its landscape and its various recreational uses.

Lashio’s public garden offers a different focus. An official local report from 2023 describes boat rides and train rides for children there. Before making plans, check whether the rides are currently available. The report also mentions taking souvenir photos with well-known figures. This gives you two different photo opportunities to choose from: figures in the garden or the pagoda in the background of the sign at Yan Taing Aung Pagoda.

Food, Shopping and Seasonal Planning

Lashio Night Market is near the market and offers a selection of different foods. Lashio Myoma Market is a place to shop. For planning purposes, you can distinguish between the two by their described focus: food at the Night Market, shopping at Myoma Market.

Lashio Hot Spring Resort is located near Lashio. A report from December 2023 describes the resort as usually being open during the winter season, from November 1 to the end of February; during this time, guests also visit stalls selling traditional foods. Before making plans, check whether the seasonal opening is currently scheduled for your travel dates. The resort’s history goes back further: it was established as a recreation site in 1963 and transformed into a modern spa in 1991. These dates provide a historical timeline, while the period from November to the end of February refers to the reported seasonal operation. This distinction can help you separate historical information from the possible seasonal opening period when planning your trip.
