We were put off by other reviewers as well as some local friends who recommended the Sadung waterfalls instead , so we planned to skip this however had too much time to spare and headed for the confluence in the late morning on our last day . The sun struggled to shine through but even then the scenes before you arrive ( at the viewpoint ) were amazing . ( takes about 1 hr by car from Myitkyina). Once at the confluence the giant pebble boulders were so awesome ( we visited during the dry season and I think this makes all the difference) .Visitors can dress up in local Kachin or Lisu National costumes for 1000 kyats each costume (under $1) There are shanty coffee shops and snacks sellers with the usual risk of littering . Well worth it just to experience the pebbles beach .
