Pindaya caves at the last count contained 8700 statues of Buddha. The collection contains statues made of alabaster, teak, marble, brick, lacquer and cement, both large and small. The collection is still growing as new figures are installed by Buddhist organisations all over the world.
The Pindaya Caves are a major Buddhist pilgrimage site and tourist attraction set in the hills overlooking the small town of Pindaya. The main cave contains hundreds of gilded Buddha images, crammed into every available space within, dating from the late 18th century onwards and is entered through the Shwe U Min (Golden Cave) Pagoda built into the hillside.

The original commemorative statue of Pinda Wullem was created by the artist Hay Mansvelders and was cast in bronze. It stood in the Jodenstraat for many years as a tribute to the city’s first Chinese resident. However, in 2016, the bronze statue was stolen - a common fate for metal public art, as thieves often melt them down for the scrap value of the bronze. This loss left a void in the street’s historical landscape for several years.
To ensure the character’s permanent return to the city, a new version was commissioned from the artist Hans Reijnders and unveiled in 2021. Reijnders deliberately chose to work with hard stone (Petit Granit) specifically to prevent a repeat of the 2016 theft; because the material has no resale value as scrap, it is far less likely to be targeted. While the choice was practical, the stone also gives the sculpture a grounded, sturdy presence that reflects Wullem's enduring legacy in Venlo's local folklore.
The man himself, Tsen Koa Pai, remains one of Venlo’s most iconic figures. Arriving in 1937, he was a fixture of the city's nightlife, carrying a wooden tray and selling roasted peanuts with his signature call of "Pienda, pienda, lekka lekka!" Beyond the peanuts, he was a shrewd businessman who helped the local youth by discreetly selling condoms hidden beneath the sweets in his tray. This sculpture, standing near the historic Romerhuis, ensures that his colorful contribution to the city's social fabric is never forgotten.

No último final de semana, aconteceu o FESTIPOEMA aqui em Pinda, e eu participei tanto no palco atuando, como fotógrafa, pelo que podem ver nesta foto que pude clicar :)
O poema que encenei foi este abaixo, gostei muito. Além de reencontrar o palco que é um sonho pra mim, este poema me fez lembrar de vários amigos que sairam da Pinda para fazer a vida em outra cidade.
O MEU LUGAR
Por onde andei?! Por onde andarei?!
Já estive, ainda vou e voltei.
Lá e cá fui feliz, como quis.
Mundo afora ou no mesmo país.
Mas sou fruto colhido
Da terra fértil, onde Deus semeou.
Minha raiz é mantida,
Não importa em que lugar estou.
Se estou aqui e aqui não é o meu lugar,
Apenas “estou”.
Quando estiver lá e lá for o meu lugar,
Lá “eu sou”!
Ah! Esse lugar!
Essa gente que há...
Minha terra, com muito prazer!
Eu quero crer
Que a vida não acaba
Antes que Pindamonhangaba
Volte a ser o meu lugar,
Sempre será o meu lugar!
( Vou procurar o autor )
Mas dedico a vários amigos... Carol, Ítalo, Lavinia, Cau, Eduardo, Raphael Picca, Gabriel, Kirtana, Nathalia, Jardel, Marcelo, Pamela e outros.........
