1. Seven Lake
These are the lakes where the mythical story said Kinnare-Kinnara took bath. There is a wooden shelter like building where the snacks and food were sold. I tried Kayah sausage, the steamed vege wraped with a banana leave and fried dried frog there. It is a nice spot to go for a picnic.

2.Demoso Market
Demoso Market is a must-visit place because the people from surrounding areas come to the market to sell their produce. You will see almost all tribal people Kayah, Kayaw, Kayan, Lisu, etc at the market without needing to go out to the villages and also you can explore the local food at the food stall. Usually, the people leave around lunch time and so, it is the best to go there early if you want to see all these people. Demoso is about half an hour drive away from Loikaw. The thing which caught my interest in the market was the dried frogs. You can see people selling alive frogs, birds, local rice wine (called Khaung-Yay), fresh vegetables, and so on.
3.Ngwe taung Dam
Ngwe Taung Dam is located on the way from Loikaw to Demoso. A good place to sit down and rewind. The fresh breeze coming across the water will cool you down.
4.Umbrella Pond (Htee Pwint Pond)
The pond is located in the middle of the rice fields and a small stupa is beside the pond. The pond is called Htee Pwint (means opened umbrella) because the mud from the base comes towards the water surface and looks like umbrella. They come and go. They can appear anywhere in the pond at any time. I don’t know how it happens. But the locals believe that if you make a wish when you see Htee Pwint mud, the wish will come true.
