This is the view of Taunggyi city from Shwe Phone Pwint pagoda.
But we didn't stay in Taunggyi. We stayed at the hotel named "The White Avenue Hotel" in Nyaung Shwe. Nyaung Shwe is a township of Taunggyi District. The hotel is a three-stars hotel. The address is Kayay 1 road, Nandar Wun Quarter, Nyaung Shwe. Rooms are pretty, each one has a little balcony with some chairs and a little table to chill. The staffs were very kind and helpful.
My favourite part is that the breakfast is served in a nice patio on the first floor with the mountain scenery. Plus they made us traditional breakfast on top of their usual delicious breakfast menu if u ask for. You can also check for more infos here https://www.facebook.com/thewhiteavenuehotel/ .
This is one of the wall arts of the hotel.
Nyaung Shwe market (Mingala Market) ; it's that vivid green square thing stuck smack bang in the middle of town. This is the town's permanent, daily market, open from morning to late afternoon.
Apart from it's permanent market, Nyaung Shwe also has a five-day market but it's not connected to the Inle Lake five-day market. It has a separate scheduale that is shares with the nearby towns of Kalaw, Aung Ban, Heho and Pindaya. Every five days then, Mingala market doubles in size and overflows onto surrounding streets and pavements. You can find many traditional food stalls on five-day market morning.
Those are my favourite recipes; Inn Mote-Ti, Ngar Htamin Nal and Wat Tha Chin.
Inle lake is located in the Nyaung Shwe township. It is the second largest lake in Myanmar. It becomes the Myanmar's first designated place of World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Inle cuisine is different from Shan cuisine. You can find those dishes at five-day market. 
Phaung Taw Oo pagoda is a notable Buddhist site in Myanmar, located on the Inle Lake.
I wanna recommend some must-try restaurants in Nyaung Shwe & Taunggyi. The one in Nyaung Shwe is Pwel Taw Win (ပဲြေတာ္ဝင္). It is a popular traditional restaurants in Nyaung Shwe. There are also some nice bars to enjoy the nightlife of Nyaung Shwe. We have tried only one of those and it's really a nice one. The name is One Owl Grill. The grills are made with some fresh veggies and fruits from local and yes so delicious. 
Another one from Taunggyi is Myoe Nyein Chan-3 (ၿမိဳ႕ၿငိမ္းခ်မ္း - ၃). Daung Lann Htamin with traditional recipes is so so yummy. And don't forget to visit to Aye-Tha-Yar Wine garden at Taunggyi.
This is the view from Mine Thauk village, Nyaung Shwe. There is a monastery on Mine Thauk mountain named Mine Thauk Tawya Monastery.
Don't forget to pay a visit to nearby towns; Kalaw,Aung Ban, Pintaya and visit to some famous pagodas and coves from there.
This one is taken from a monastery at Kalaw. Some are known as view point.
You can find this kind of cute taxi at Nyaung Shwe🐴
