Pindaya Caves

Reviewed By milliesmum2016 - Christchurch, New Zealand

.....on entering this series of caves. It's a very holy site and to ensure access for all there is a choice of covered walk up or elevators. We took the elevator up but walked back down. There is so much to see that you really just don't know where to look first and there are quite a number of caves and caverns to visit. There are Buddha images of every conceivable size, shape, style, colour in every nook and cranny. All been lovingly placed there by some devout family or individual and all bearing different meanings and intentions, I'm sure, dependent on the donor. This is an amazing experience. Don't miss it if you can possibly get there. The path up from the carpark is fun. It has all sorts of large concrete images, notably a large globe where even NZ is featured (good one, Burma), a series of statues which more or less equates to Shakespeares speech for Jacque about the Ages of Man, and most amusingly, an enormous and supposed to be scary spider perched right by the steps! Do note that shoes have to be left behind and that the pathways and steps inside the cave can be slippery and uneven. A most facsinating visit. Allow at least a couple of hours.

Aung Umbrella

Our family has been making hand made umbrellas for over 150 years. Now in the fourth generation, we also offer other products such as lanterns, envelopes, notebooks, and other beautiful art. Come by and visit our shop. We would love to show you how we have been making them for hundreds of year. Come sit down, enjoy a cup of tea, and join our family in making your own hand-made art too.

The family running this shop is just amazing ❤️ After demonstrating to us each step of the product development, the hosting lady invited us to her kitchen, quickly prepared a huge amount of typical dish - green tea leave salad for us (we were interested about the way of cooking it). Then they invited us on tea, sweets and insisted to take with us all these food!! ???? Apparently she cooks every day for around 20-30 people just like this :) They were all so kind, friendly and authentic. Highly recommended to visit and know them. ❤️????
