About 6.4 m from the wallcity is the first moat filled with soft mud, which is about 9.6 m wide. It is one of the main gate way to Bago Yoma and its teak forests in which you can see how elephants work like pulling logs and to treat them. But the working site is not stable as it is moving around, so need to follow where they are. The eastern portion of Taungoo district is the home to many Kayin. Some places to Visit

Ngwe Saung Beach

It has become popular with tourists in just the last two or three years and the quality of the beach, sand and water is comparable to Ngapali Beach. There are only a few hotels (most of them are deluxe or superior category) however a few more are being built. Until recently, the beach could be reached only by car (about 5-6 hours drive) from Yangon or by a tourist ferry that would make an overnight trip (but sometimes the boat would not run if they did not have enough bookings). Now, the new domestic air carrier Air Bagan, has started flying to Pathein on a regular basis.

It is also the terminus of a branch of the main railroad line. The town is a rice-milling and export center. The British built a fort and established a garrison in 1826, after the First Anglo-Burmese War.
