Kyaut Sae Cave, Myanmar

From series “Fantastic and Colorful Caves Inside the Earth”
Kyaut SAE Cave, located in Myanmar, is known all over the world. The majestic cave holds a Buddhist temple inside its depths. This fact does not diminish the natural splendour of the cave at all. Through the small openings in the ceiling, daylight penetrates the cave. At certain times of the day the cave is flooded with orange or blue glow.

The cave is situated near the city of Burna and is known only to a narrow circle of people. It is quite small, and, therefore, practically not interesting to researchers. The main visitors to the cave are pilgrims. The temple located there remains one of the most important in the country. Right in the cave grow trees and shrubs, which make the atmosphere in it even more fabulous. The number of pilgrims visiting the cave is really very large, so in recent years it has been substantially transformed.

The floor of the cave was designed with chic marble, comfortable benches were placed around the cave for visitors. In the center of one of the caverns is a golden sculpture of Buddha, beside which you can see a lot of beautiful statues and traditional jewelery for Buddhist culture. Kyaut SAE Cave is an important religious, cultural and historical monument of Myanmar. According to scientists, the first sacred places were established in the 13th century. Next - Aven Armand Cave

Top destination around Kyaut Sae Cave - Mandalay

The city of Mandalay was officially founded in 1857 by King Mindon. Starting from 1860 and during the next twenty-five years, Mandalay was the capital of the Burmese Kingdom. Everything changed in 1885 when the British troops occupied the city. To resist the invaders and not let them capture the country completely, the ruling King Thibaw signed an agreement with France. This document mentioned the building of a railroad connecting Laos and Mandalay. Thibaw also intended to organize a navy in the country, but all his efforts were in vain. The United Kingdom added the whole territory of Burma to British India.

During World War II, the Japanese army occupied Indochina and this way tried to block the supply chain to China. The route to Yangon, which passed Mandalay, was built a bit earlier – in 1939. This route was a typical way to deliver ammo to China. However, the Japanese managed to attack Burma in May 1942 and capture Mandalay. The British could reclaim the territory only after the end of the war. The country finally became independent from Great Britain in 1948. After that, Mandalay turned into an important economic and cultural center of Upper Burma.
