Pyin U Lwin train station





Pyin U Lwin... evening reflections




Kandawgyi Tower of Horrors... just kidding






I don't know why this tower was built here, but it is about 6 stories tall, with a wooden ramp going up and around to the top floor. There is an elevator up the inside of the wooden structure, but it was badly broken when I was there. Set off to walk the ramp to the top, but realized at about 3rd floor level that this ramp was actually starting to terrify me! It was a little shaky and seemed like it MIGHT not have been attached to the tower as solidly as I would have liked. I paused as high as I dared to go, took some panorama views and quickly high tailed it down off that ramp. The tower was weird, and didn't really fit in with the theme of the rest of the park at all. It was way off in the back, all by itself,  up a decent sized hill in the forest. It felt like it could have been the set to a horror movie. Totally gave ME the heebee geebees! Death Tower!!

The Kandawgyi aviary... they walk among us!
