Ruiguang Golden Tower About 20-30 minutes, we arrived at the Ruiguang Golden Pagoda. This is a golden pagoda with a height of 98 meters. Because it is located on the holy mountain of St. Dingda in the northern part of the city, and the buildings in Yangon are not very high, it is the highest point of the city. Entering Yangon Golden Tower You must take off your shoes or store them before entering the temple. The first impression of the Golden Pagoda is. . . . Big. Its really a huge golden pagoda, and the gold in the tower is made of real gold nuggets! If you don't see the hugeness of the entire Shwedagon Tower, it's hard to understand why I was so surprised. The entire tower is studded with a variety of rare red and blue gems. The tower body is also really after several times of gold, the gold above is 7,000 kg. All these golds were donated by people from all walks of life in Myanmar. This tradition was circulated since the 15th century from the Queen of the Mon. If you look at the golden dome of the stupa, you will also be as impressed as I am because the amount of gold compared to the poverty around Yangon is simply unimaginable. We walked around the Shwedagon Pagoda, and the sky gradually darkened.
