Peik Chin Myaung Cave, Myanmar

Peik Chin Myaung Cave


Peik Chin Myaung Cave is a limestone cave that has been developed into a tourist attraction in Myanmar. The cave is located in the village of Wetsun, near Pyin Oo Lwin. As with many of the caves in Myanmar, Peik Chin Myaung Cave has many Buddhist statues and stupas.

Peik Chin Myaung Cave was formed some 250 million years ago. After centuries as a Buddhist pilgrimage site, it began to grow in popularity as a tourist site. However, getting there is not easy, as the road from Pyin U Lwin to the cave is quite bumpy.

Peik Chin Myaung Cave got its name from peik chin, a type of pepper vine that once grew at the entrance to the cave. There is also a natural pool fed by Thone Sint Waterfall which flows out from the cave. This being a tourist spot, the entrance now has numerous shops selling titbits as well as souvenirs.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
