The Golden Rock in Myanmar

Myanmar’s Golden rock can be found on a cliff 1100 meters high above the sea level. This 5-meter granitic boulder is where you can find Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, where the Burmese Buddhists hold the major pilgrimage.

The pilgrims affix a gold leaf for several hundred years, which makes up its golden hue. This rock looks as if it defies gravity and appears to plummet, which makes it look amazing.

According to the legend, this rock is nestled on Buddha’s hair strand and that those who come around thrice a year in this holy site would be favored with wealth as well as recognition of the goodness that they did.
