Peik Chin Myaung Cave

On our second day in Pwyin Oo Lwin, we went to Peik Chin Myaung Cave, a popular attraction near Pyin Oo Lwin. There is a waterfall at the entrance of the cave, and inside the cave are Buddhas, of course, so as with any pagoda or sacred area, you must take off your shoes. However, you don’t just take off your shoes when entering the cave, oh no, that would be logical; you must take off your shoes while down below in the village, leave them in an unsecured cubicle, and walk through dirt and mud to the cave – it’s nature, and there isn’t a clean, paved pathway up to the cave, despite the requirement to take off your shoes. While I was interested in seeing the cave, I did not want to do a HIKE in bare feet, so I decided to remain below in the village and look around and relax. Perhaps I missed out on something really cool (the photos people posted are really neat), but the idea of hiking through dirt and mud in bare feet is absolutely ridiculous (plus it’s not like I desperately wanted to see another Buddha), which is why I am only giving it two stars. While I waited for my mom to take a look at the cave, I relaxed, looked around the village and food stalls, saw some waterfalls, and wrote Trip.com reviews. #thingstodo#familytravel
