Kyaiktiyo Pagoda
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda (Golden Rock) is a pagoda built on top of a granite boulder, which seems to defy gravity as it seems it to fall down the hill at any moment. The pagoda is situated in Mon State, and is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site. The boulder is entirely covered by gold leaves pasted on by devotees. The legend says that it is a strand of Buddha's hair that keeps the pagoda balancing on the edge of the hill.
