In Nay Pyi Taw, there is an elephant enclosure at the foot of Uppatasanti Pagoda where it houses white elephants. Their skin are soft reddish-brown and pink when wet. In Myanmar, White elephants are a symbol of power and fortune and at the enclosure itself, there are 6 of them.
The next time if you visit Nay Pyi Taw, remember to take a look at the White Elephants.
