Taunggyi
Myanmar (Burma)
Taunggyi, the highland capital of Myanmar's Shan State, is known across the country for its annual hot air balloon festival, held on the full moon of Tazaungmon, and for a live-music culture that has earned it the informal title of Myanmar's City of Music. Set high in the mountains with views over surrounding valleys, the city has a walkable centre with cafés, restaurants, and a concentration of historic churches, and sits a short drive from Inle Lake.
