Go to Hsipaw to experience one of the best railway journeys in the World.
Before reaching this small town in Northern Myanmar, the train crosses a steel bridge that spans the massive and very picturesque Goteik Gorge.
The town itself is an excellent place to get a feel of rural Burma and go on nature treks.
