Yeယေ
Visit Ye for a half‑day stopover, walk the riverside market and lake; skip overnight unless you need a train break.
Ye is a small town halfway between Dawei and Mawlamyine, best explored on foot in a few hours. Its riverside market, lake with pagoda, and nearby beaches make it a pleasant layover for train or bus travelers.
