Colonial Buildings

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:27:07

Most of Pyin Oo Lwin’s trademark colonial-era buildings are dotted amid the southeastern woodland suburbs on and off Circular Rd. Many look like classic 1920s British homes, while the biggest have the feel of a St Trinian’s–style boarding school. There are also a number of decaying but still impressive mansions on Nan Myaing St heading towards the Naval College.

Check out the splendid Former Croxton Hotel , as well as the Number 4 High School and the Survey Training Centre . Up near the Shan Market, a fine half-timbered mansion is now a Seventh Day Adventist Church .
