We had a nice view of Sagaing Hill from U Min Thonze Caves. U Min Thonze Pagoda located at the top of Sagaing hill – “U Min” means cave and “Thonze” means 30. I liked spending time there at the top of the hill. You need at least an hour to experience this.

The pagoda itself makes a very pleasant impression both outside and inside. There are no tourists, some locals. Near the pagoda there is a small market where you can buy local perfumes - wooden blocks, or living owls ... I wonder why they sell owls?

I visited very often with my clients and it is so nice to learn about the nuns and nunnery. If you are interested in about buddhism and nuns you should visit that place. We call Thakya Di Tar nunnery and i do recommend you highly.
