 THANLYIN (A TOWN OF ROMANCE)

 

 


Syriam, a picturesque resort and historical town, is one of the tourist attractions of Myanmar.
This small romantic town is famous for its tragic legend which is still popular among the Myanmar people. The legend started with a love affair between the Princess of Syriam and the Prince of Okkalapa (now Yangoon) which ended in tragedy just like Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Syriam is also known for its historical sites. One example is the famous Kyaik-khauk pagoda about two miles from Syriam where you can study the ancient Myanmar architecture. In the pagoda compound there are tombs of Natshinaung and Padethayaza who were famous for their literary works.

Interesting places in Thanlyin: Colorful market, Kyaik-kauk Pagoda, Yele-hpaya Pagoda (Kyauk-tan)
