If you're traveling by car, start by heading out of Yangon city center towards the Yangon-Mandalay Expressway (also known as the Yangon-Mandalay Highway). Follow the highway south for approximately 300 kilometers until you reach Hpa-An. Upon entering Hpa-An, use a navigation app or local directions to find the Clock Tower, which is located at VJQM+JQ5. The drive will take around 5-6 hours, depending on traffic. Be prepared for potential toll fees along the expressway.
