The Kyaikpun Buddha is a striking religious monument featuring four 30-meter-tall seated Buddha images placed back-to-back around a central pillar. Each statue faces a cardinal direction, symbolizing the Buddha's omnipresence. Built in the 15th century by a Mon king, the site is still active and revered. Visitors can walk around the statues, observing the intricate details and the serene expressions, and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the surrounding gardens.
