Myanmar > Places & Sights > Kekku
First seen by a Westerner in 1996, Keeku is located 45 kilometers south of Taunggyi. There are several thousand pagodas, built between the 12th and the 16th century, surrounded by countless Buddha statues.
Kekku was founded by the Yun Tai people. The Yun Tai moved south towards what is now Thailand. Nowadays, the Pa O of the Karen nation live in this region. Their traditional costume are black clothes with a colourful cloth wrapped around their heads.
The place is still actively used, as is evident when in March tens of thousands of Pa O devotees from all over the region celebrate the full moon festival.
