The hills have probably been occupied since the dawn of human habitation in Myanmar. The caves and surrounding hill has stairway to climb.  Crowning the top of Powin hill are a complex of 3 temples curved out of volcanic rocks. One looks like a cathedral curved out of rock, while the other two are cave temples housing Buddha images in seated and reclining positions.  Just beyond Po Win Daung, Shwe Ba Hill is stand with plain Buddha images.
