Nestled in the hills, you will find a series of caves that serve as meditation chambers. These mythical places are home to more than six thousand vividly crafted Buddha statues, made from white marble and bronzed plaster then finely gilded with golden leaf. Towering 15 metres high, the impressive Shwe U Min Pagoda stands as a majestic gatekeeper to the caves.
