Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, Buddhist pilgrimage site in Myanmar
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, also known as Golden Rock, is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site in Mon State, Myanmar.
The pagoda is believed to be over 2,500 years old, dating back to the lifetime of the Buddha.
The rock and the pagoda are covered with gold leaves pasted on by devotees, demonstrating their faith and devotion.
Visitors can reach the pagoda via a steep 11 km hiking trail from Kinpun base camp or by a truck ride followed by a short walk.
The golden rock appears to defy gravity, as it precariously balances on the edge of a cliff.
