Pyin Oo Lwin, the former British summer hill station of Maymyo, was founded in 1896. Along with Yangon and Mawlamyine, it hosts one of Myanmar’s significant inventories of well-preserved British occupation-era structures, and quite possibly the largest architectural collection of early twentieth century colonial residential villas in Southeast Asia. World Monuments Fund travelled there to visit Kandawgyi National Botanical Park to make a survey of colonial structures.
