The region is lush with tropical rainforests and has many interesting cultural sites to explore. The capital, Hpa-An, offers a wealth of historic Buddhist temples and cave complexes such as Kawgun Cave which houses ancient Buddha images carved into the walls. Other attractions include Mt. Zwegabin, an impressive mountain that soars over 2,000 meters high, and a variety of ethnic villages where visitors can experience the unique culture of this region.
