A visit to Dawei

Description: 

"Dawei dotted with famous historical pagodas can be accessible by all means of transportation Taking a trip during a long holiday is an option for relaxation. As an employee, I always think about where should I visit, when it comes to long holidays. Among many places I have been, the most unforgettable one is Dawei which is in southern Myanmar. I went there last April during Myanmar New Year’s holiday. Before deciding to go on a vacation, I discussed with my family about where we should go and what kind of general knowledge could we gain from our vacation. After consulting, we decided to go on a pilgrimage tour to Shin Koe Shin (Shin 9 Shin) pagodas in Dawei. Dawei, a town formerly known as Tavoy is in the south-eastern part of the country in Tanintharyi Region, formerly known as Tenasserim Division which is about 614.3 km (381.7 mi) south of Yangon. To go to Dawei, visitors have to pass through towns which are Bago, Kyaikto, Mawlamyine, Mudon and Ye and finally arriving in Dawei..."
