kyaiktiyo pagoda ( Golden Rock)
Dajinshi (also known as Jietiyou Pagoda) is a pagoda with a unique style. A shaky gilded boulder stands on the edge of a cliff more than 1,100 meters high, on which stands this mysterious Buddhist pagoda. This is the national treasure of Myanmar and a very sacred miracle in the hearts of the Burmese people. Compared with the stupa that is hundreds of meters tall in Myanmar, the Jietiyou Pagoda, which is about seven meters high, is really insignificant. But it is amazing that it is built on a boulder shaped like an egg, with a smooth surface and a diameter of seven or eight meters, and only a quarter of the bottom of this boulder hangs obliquely on a raised rock on the mountain, like a gust of wind It can be scraped off. The reason why the big golden stone can stand on the side of the mountain so defying gravity is said to be because three Buddha hairs are hidden in the stone. Dajinshi is a Buddhist place that Burmese people must visit in their lifetime. Many Burmese people who believe in Buddhism have come here every year to worship, make and repay their vows since childhood.Myanmar · Thaton District
Kyaikthanlan Pagoda
This is a famous stupa, where Kipling, the Nobel Prize winner for literature, wrote the poem "Mandalay", and it is also well-known here. Standing here, tourists can see the Miancheng District of Maozhan and the Salween River, as well as the bridges of Tama and Mawlamyine in the distance. The scenery is very beautiful and full of green. When evening comes, the setting sun shines on the earth, the palm trees under the mountain and the buildings complement each other, and the Salween River in the distance is even more magnificent, which is really a kind of enjoyment.Myanmar · Mawlamyine

What travellers say about Mon

Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site in Mon State about 130 miles from Yangon. One of the most spectacular places I visited. Amazing rock! The golden rock is one of the three most sacred religious sites in Myanmar, along with the Shwedagon Pagoda and the Mahamuni Temple. Nice panorama view from the top.The transfer is one of kind. Once arrived at the village, you'll need to park and hop on a lorry truck to go to the top. One of the craziest ride ever had but definitely worth it. It's a MUST visit!
