About

Ruled by the chief Angh, Shangnyu village is one of the prominent villages in Mon district. A huge and unique piece of wood carving originally placed at the entrance of the Angh's house, is believed to have been constructed by two brothers with the help of the spirit during the metallic Age. This mammoth carving is now preserved in a museum facing the Angh's house. Some stone monoliths are also seen infront of the Angh's palace.
