Gohteik viaduct is a railway trestle in Naunghkio,western Shan state,Myanmar(Burma).The bridge is situated between the two towns of Pyin Oo Lwin and Lashio.

Gohteik was built in 1899 and construction was finished in 1900.It was very suitable and convenient for trading and transportation.So,British destroyed some parts of viaduct once and fascist Japan also did when they colonized Burma.

The length of Gohteik is 2260 feet and the height is 1100 feet.At that time,it was difficulty constructed with 16 main steel piers

Gohteik viaduct was famous for its surrounding sight views and rural environment.That's why it can persuade travellers from overseas and local.

Nowdays humans are suffered from work pressure and need to escape from Urban as they can. When the world becomes healthy,I would like to recommend to take a trip no matter foreign or domestic.

Nice article with some very appealing photos. I prompted me to do more research on the cave we can see in the photos. Thanks for sharing this.
