Myitkyina

is the capital of the Kachin State. It is the northernmost railway terminal, located 1479km (919 miles) from Yangon and 783km (487 miles) from Mandalay. It can be reached by road, rail, river and air. Visitors will enjoy the Myit Sone situated at the confluence of Maikha and Malikha streams known for their crystal clear waters. The panoramic view offered at Myit Sone is beyond the expression of words and will definitely be a fine attraction to those who appreciate unspoiled nature. The various tribes still live in harmony with their own cultures, customs, dialects, dances and lifestyles. The glittering costumes with silver trinkets of the charming Kachin belles would be an enchanting sight for you to see. For a souvenir, the Kachin woolen bag with silver trinkets would be a memorable gift.
