NORTHERN MYANMAR

MANDALAY TO LASHIO

fi gures held aloft on gilded, disembodied

hands. You might fi nd visiting Quan Yin

Shang worthwhile to discover the surrounding

low-rise back-streets and for glimpses of ridge

and karst horizons. From the market area,

three-wheel pick-ups charge K3000 return.

Mansu Paya BUDDHIST MONASTERIES

Beyond the bus station, the main road bends

between the two halves of the gold and stuc-

co Mansu Paya, said to be over 250 years

old. One side of the monastery is archetypal

Shan, the other is Burmese with a notable

octagonal stupa. Hidden by school buildings

just off the main road, around a mile further

north, is another century-old Shan monas-

tery, Kamenjaung Paya.

Ye Pu San HOT SPRINGS

erpUcn'"

(local/foreigner K100/$3, parking K500) This

popular local bathing place is a pea-green

artifi cial pond ringed by a handful of stalls

and crossed by a rickety pair of rough plank

bridges. The water is perfectly bathwater-

warm and the rural agricultural setting is

pleasant enough but it’s hard to justify the

hefty foreigner entry fee or the K3000 each
