Po Win Taung Caves complex named after U Po Win, a famous alchemist who once lived there. and is spread over a 'reclining Buddha' shaped hill. These 947 hand-hewn chambers are filled with something like 446,444 of Buddha images carved out of solid sandstone. They still contain spectacular murals in beautiful condition that are over 700 years old.
