Kengphawng Hot Spring in Kengtung Township, Shan State (East), was packed with families during the Christmas holidays.
Kengphawng Hot Spring, located on the Kengtung-Taunggyi Pyidaungsu Highway, in Lwelon village-tract, is a natural hot spring, and departmental officials and local people have renovated the area for the public to have free access to the hot spring. Visitors can not only relax for free but also taste local foods such as roasted sticky rice and papaya salad and bamboo sticky rice.
People have to take COVID-19 precautionary measures even though the COVID-19 infection has dropped down in Kengtung Township, and visitors usually come and relax in the area especially in winter and public holidays. – Sai Shwe Aung (IPRD)/GNLM
