Pyin Oo Lwin is the only "hill station"—a scenic, temperate town built in colonial times—that I've visited in Myanmar, but it definitely made me want to visit more. This lovely town also contains two of the largest military academies in the country, the biggest nationwide school for taking the 10 Standard year (with 100% success rate), and the best internet access in the country. I'm not quite techie enough to remember the reason for the last one...something like... the whole country's server is housed there :).
