What are the interesting places in Myanmar?

Ruiguang Golden Pagoda is located on the bank of Yinya Lake in Yangon, Myanmar. It was built in 588 BC and was paved with 27 tons of real gold. It is the most famous scenic spot in Myanmar. The top of the stupa is inlaid with a huge diamond weighing 76 carats and worth tens of millions of euros, as well as more than 10 thousand precious stones. There are four Buddha treasures enshrined in the stupa: the hair of Buddha Sakyamuni, the Buddha's staff for detaining the sun Buddha, the water purifier for waiting for the golden Buddha, and the Buddha's robe of Kaye Buddha.

With a history of more than 2,500 years, Boda Tongta is dedicated to eight bunches of Buddha hair, and it is also the most unforgettable scenic spot in Yangon. Many people come here to worship Buddha on holidays and touch the golden coffin that was originally used to preserve Buddha's hair. It is said that they can feel mysterious energy. The entrance fee for the stupa is $3, and the address is located near the Podatong Pier in downtown Yangon.

Sulta, one of the three pagodas in Myanmar, is located in the center of Yangon, 46 meters high. It is dedicated to His Majesty, the patron saint of Sakyamuni and Yangon. It was this tower that extended around Yangon 2200 years ago, and now it has become the most important landmark and pilgrimage site in Yangon. It is recommended to visit the stupa at sunset, and the stupa at dusk has the most charm.

Located at the foot of Mandalay Mountain, Gudu Taofo Pagoda is 57 meters high. There are 729 white pagodas around the pagoda. This magnificent pagoda is called the largest merit pagoda in the world by the Burmese people because it has the largest collection of books in the world. Gudu Taofo Pagoda is open 24 hours a day, free to visit and within walking distance from Mandalay Mountain.

Myanmar Stonehenge, also known as Jidi Jade Pagoda, is the most important religious pilgrimage site in Myanmar. This boulder standing on the cliff of Mon State in Myanmar is 7.6 meters high and weighs about 6 1 1 ton. It seems to be in jeopardy, but it has stood on the top of the mountain for more than 2500 years. How it was moved to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1 100 meters is still an unsolved mystery. How to get there: Depart from Qinbang, the gathering place of Yamashita Restaurant Hotel, take a big truck, book tickets in advance, and choose comfortable seats in the front row.
