The Taung Kwe Zedi rises from natural limestone formations, featuring multiple white stupas connected by covered stairways and passages at different levels.

The pagoda complex developed over centuries as a meditation site where Buddhist monks constructed religious structures upon existing natural rock formations.

Local Karen and Shan communities gather at the pagoda during full moon festivals to make offerings and participate in traditional ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the pagoda via a series of 250 steps, with the entrance fee being 5000 kyat for international tourists.

The natural limestone rock formations serve as structural foundations for the pagoda buildings, creating an integrated architecture of nature and religious construction.
