Sunset Hill

Hsipaw life is pretty busy now that the road through the village goes to China, and that it is among the few villages that supports the Burmese military. The road noise and freight traffic never stop. To escape the noise, it is best to go up the hill in the late evening. To do this, cross the river on the new bridge made by the Chinese, or cross the ancient bridge made by the English, so small that does it can not fit a bus if there are crossing pedestrians. After a half hour walk you will arrive atop the hill. There is a small temple at the top. A monk brought a guest book for us to sign, and some tea.
