Nanmyin Tower.
The location of the Nanmyin Tower was once the old site of Inwa Palace.

  • But after war migration and earthquakes, in addition to the broken leaning tower, no other buildings can be seen here.
  • The tower stands 27 meters high and gives a bird's eye view of the entire ancient city.
  • However, climbing has been banned because it is now heavily tilted.
