Phra That In Hang, Burma

Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is one of the five sacred places that Burmese people must pay homage to. It is also a pagoda for people born in the year of the dog that people born in this year must pay homage to at least once in their lives. In the Mon language, it means a rock shaped like a hermit's head. Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is located in Kyaikto, Thaton District, Mon State, Burma, on top of Phueng Luang Mountain, 3,615 feet above sea level. The distinctive feature of Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is that it is a large golden rock, 5.5 meters high, perched precariously on a steep cliff, as if it will fall and defy gravity without falling down. How to get there When we arrive in the city, there will be a vehicle station to go up to the pagoda, which will be a 6-wheeled vehicle with seats. It takes about 1 hour to get to the top because the road is narrow, so be careful while traveling. The car will climb all the way to the top. We will get off and walk for about 800 meters to reach the base of the pagoda stairs. When you get to the pagoda, it is recommended to buy flowers and offerings near the pagoda. Only men are allowed to get close and touch the pagoda. It is recommended to go see the atmosphere at night because it is very beautiful. #Waiting for departure day
