Gaung Say Kyun Islet

[Back]　　

　You can go to the islet by a boat from Mawlamyine. It takes only 5 minutes, so it is easy to go. The entire small island is the pagoda, and there are many monks living on the islet. If anything, there were many female monks. Personally, I did not expect too much about this islet, but it was surprisingly good. The boat is 2,000 kyat for foreigners and 1,000 kyat for Myanmars (round trip price).
　The islet is really small, so easy to look around. It is enough for about 30 minutes or 1 hour for sightseeing. If you have a time, why not go to a simple boat trip?
