Loikaw, the capital of Kayah State located about 70 miles south of Kalaw in Shan State, is pleasant with traditional pagodas and monuments. It is also famous for Padaung women, who wear traditional brass rings round their necks.
It stands on the Shan plateau with undulating mountain ranges; abounds with tourist attractions, beautiful scenery, waterfalls and a large natural tunnel which nobody can imagine where it ends. see photos of Loikaw
