Kyaiktiyo Pagoda
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, also known as the Golden Rock, is a famous Buddhist pilgrimage site located in Myanmar. It is renowned for its unique position atop a granite boulder, which appears to be precariously balanced on the edge of a cliff. The pagoda stands at about 7.3 meters tall and is covered in gold leaf, making it a striking sight against the lush green landscape.
Visitors often trek to the site, which is situated in the Mon State, to witness the stunning views and experience the spiritual atmosphere. The pagoda is believed to house a strand of the Buddha's hair, adding to its significance among devotees and tourists alike.
