The
Mon State government will develop the Hpa Baung limestone cave near Wa Pyan Gone
Village, Kyaikmaraw Township, Mon State, as an eco-tourism zone, according to a
report in Myawady Daily.
Moreover,
a spring in the cave area will also be developed as an eco-tourism site. These
will be implemented within this year. The Hpa Baung limestone cave is the
largest natural limestone cave in Mon state.
“Many
interesting places in this area can be developed as eco-tourism sites.
Kyaikmaraw has many such caves. These are conserved by the Archaeology,
National Museum and Library Department. We are planning to submit a report to
the state government,” said Dr. Min Kyi Win, Mon State Minister for Natural
Resources and Environmental Conservation.
The
Forestry Department also plans to designate Hpa Baung and the surrounding areas
extending to 446 acres as a forest reserve.
Recently,
a committee led by the State government was formed. The committee has been
making field surveys to implement the project.
