Burma image, WA0347. Top of Sinlum waterfall.
'Sinlum Kaba is a charming retreat up on the mountains at a height of 5000ft. A 'circular road', cut round the hills by Mr Rae, commands magnificent views. The most beautiful loop of this road is that leading to the Mission Hut, a spur of mountain clothed with splendid trees. The rocks are covered with orchids, and the view over the Taping and Irrawaddy Rivers is truly superb. Another wonderful view is that obtained from a cliff which used to be called 'Lamu-ga Mada Lung' (Rock of the World View). This rock forms a stupendous precipice, and is now spoken of as 'N-ra lung htawn' (Unpleasant rock). This is really a better name, since equally fine views are seen from Sinlum itself, without the shrinking sensation that this horrible precipice brings' ['A Burmese Arcady', C. M. Enriquez, London, 1923, p.102]
