The number one thing to see in Pyin Oo Lwin, in my opinion. Tickets are 7,000 mmk as of July 2023. The gardens are extensive and you can easily spend 2-3 hours there. They have buggies that you can pay to drive you around if you have limited time, but I think it's best to roam around by foot.

They are celebrating the 15th Flower Festival, and it'll last until 15th January 2023. The entrance fee is 3,000 kyats per person and 500 kyats for cars. They have an enormous parking lot and the staff are attentive and kind. There are lots of flowers and people. You should go there early during this festival and come back early because it's too crowded and it'll be congested on the way back to Mandalay.

An historical Anglican Church building, still in active use and maintained by the congregation. We visited on a Sunday morning and participated a little in their Sunday service, conducted in Burmese. Some of the congregation passed us English language hymns and service booklets. Lovely church building but really showing its age.

The old colonial house transformed into a restaurant has its distinct old-world charm. My main concern for the place is the upkeep. Because of the dusty, humid air, everything just seems more run-down than in prior reviews and photos, with the white outdoor umbrellas noticeably graying. Food is excellent and prices are reasonable so overall, it's still a great place for lunch or dinner.
Anthony Ngo — Google review
The food is delicious. The price is reasonable. But the big annoying thing is the cat/cats. Cats were around the table and they even tried to jump on us. Nobody paid much attention for that. Moreover, the owner’s young boy was playing around the restaurant and feeding food to the cats.
