Ye Hlwe Waterfall: A New Tourist Attraction For The Post-COVID-19

The Ye Hlwe  waterfall on the east bank of Sittaung River is recognized as a new tourist attraction for the post-COVID-19 tourism due to its beautiful scenery and convenient transportation after the opening of the Sittaung River Bridge (Yedashe) on 2nd January. The waterfall is located in Ye Hlwe village, Yedashe  Township in Bago Region.

Vehicles can drive to the Mya Yaung  pagoda near the waterfall and the villagers are now repairing and cleaning the road to make it more convenient for visitors to the waterfall.

On the way to the waterfall, visitors can also pay visit to Kayin Chaung  village surrounded by ancient moats and the Shwe Pyi Aye  sitting Buddha statue facing mountains of Kayin State. Moreover, the discovery of about three miles wide of old laterite walls, brick boards and burial urns near Thet Kae Kyin  village, about three miles up from Ye Hlwe waterfall also offers the cultural heritage which is connected with the tourism industry.

When the travel restrictions are eased in the post-COVID-19 period, the people will start travelling and developing tourism destinations will surely support the country’s smokeless industry.
