Kawgun Cave

The Kawgun Cave is without a doubt one of the most beautiful historical sites in Burma. It is 13 kilometers away from the town of Hpa An. According to popular belief, the temple cave was commissioned by a Mon Queen in the 7th century, making it a sacred spot for ethnic Mon to visit and worship.


Thousands of Buddha sculptures in Kawgun cave are still in outstanding condition despite its early antiquity creation, with varying ages, forms, emotions, and attitudes. The wall sculptures are probably what make tourists 'wow' here. Many little Buddha figures were intricately carved on the wall and all the way to the ceiling. Kawgun cave is extremely valuable for studying former Burmese history, religion, culture, and architecture. This is a fantastic location for photographers seeking inspiration and creativity.

This magnificent 5th artwork has never failed to wow visitors of all ages, professions, and careers. Although Hpa An is well-known for the natural wonders of various limestone caves, Kawgun's distinctive beauty will undoubtedly draw more visitors as well as local government preservation.
