Sundown at the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, Myanmar - stock photo
The Kyaiktiyo Pagoda (The Golden Rock) at the top of Mt. Kyaiktiyo is one of the most important pilgrimage sites of Myanmar. Perched dangerously on the edge of a cliff, pilgrims have been visiting the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda for centuries to meditate and give offerings to the Buddha.
Whether this worship keeps the boulder from rolling down the precipice is unclear, but the gold-leaf covered stone certainly inspires all who visit. At 25 feet high and 50 feet around, the golden boulder in Mon State, Myanmar is hard to miss.
