If anyone is thinking of traveling to a neighboring country like Burma, the place I would like to recommend is Kyaik Hto Pagoda. It is beautiful and another impressive memory. How to get there - You can take a cable car, but we took a 2-row car to the Kyaik Hto Pagoda pick-up and drop-off point, then walked to the hotel. If the elderly can't walk, they have a sling service for you to go up. You have to carry your own bags, someone will carry them for you. If you want to carry them yourself, they won't let you. Haha Hotel - Kyaik Hto Hotel When you get up in the evening, you will feel less tired. The view is very beautiful. The hotel may not be luxurious, but the view is worth millions for sure. Rest your legs and regain your strength before continuing your walk. Tourist attractions - Of course, Kyaik Hto Pagoda, or as the Burmese call it, Kyaik Thi Yo Pagoda. When you get here, you will see the power of faith of the Burmese people, whether they are children, teenagers, or adults, who come to pay homage continuously. The atmosphere is as shown in the picture. Recommendations - This trip may have a lot of walking, but it is not difficult. In fact, I went there in 2018, when the cable car was not finished. It should be more convenient now. #Kyaik Hto Pagoda #TravelBurma #tripgiveawayfreeaccommodation

Entering the romantic golden stone in the night, witnessing the golden pagoda built on the boulder, it is located on the cliff, seemingly crumbling, but it has always stood stubbornly, it is completely a magical violation of gravity. Exist, but no one can tell the reason. It is a sacred stone in the eyes of the local people. Every day there are endless believers, climbing up the mountain, praying devoutly, and putting gold foil on this magical holy stone, silently telling. This legendary big stone is located on a high mountain in Bago in the northeastern part of Yangon. At the foot of the mountain is a dense village. It takes about two and a half hours to drive from Yangon. At the foot of the mountain, you need to transfer to the local traffic before you can go up the mountain, or you can walk up the mountain with the crowd going up the mountain. After climbing a few kilometers of slopes, you will reach the top of the mountain platform, and the grand golden stone will be in front of you. A dazzling golden glow. Into the big stone, the whole stone is huge, only connected with a small part of the mountain on the edge of the cliff, but he can stand firmly there, and after seeing it, it is even more magical.

Next to Dajinshi, there is also a temple, which houses many Buddha statues and models of Dajinshi, each of which is covered with gold foil. The endless stream of believers came from the hills to worship, regardless of staying up late, this piety is amazing.

#favouriteitinerary Kyaik Htee Yoe, also known as The Golden Rock is located in Mon State of Myanmar. It has a popular myth behind its happening! This pagoda is popular due to its “floating” posture. A few years ago, they opened up a cable car that connects you to the top directly from the half-way point. There are hotels on top as well. We stayed at this hotel called Royal Hinthara which was very close to the Pagoda itself. There are many locally made items sold there. I love the jackets available there especially. If you’re a man, you can also buy golden leaflets and paste it onto the pagoda yourself for a unique experience. Do pay a visit if you’ve never heard haven’t!

Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site in Mon State, Myanmar. It is a small pagoda (7.3 m (24 ft)) built on the top of a granite boulder covered with gold leaves pasted on by its male worshippers.According to legend, the Golden Rock itself is precariously perched on a strand of Lord Buddha's hair.[1] The balancing rock seems to defy gravity, as it perpetually appears to be on the verge of rolling down the hill. The rock and the pagoda are at the top of Mt. Kyaiktiyo. Another legend states that a Buddhist monk impressed the celestial king with his asceticism and the celestial king used his supernatural powers to carry the rock to its current place, specifically choosing the rock for its resemblance to the monk's head. It is the third most important Buddhist pilgrimage site in Burma after the Shwedagon Pagoda and the Mahamuni Pagoda.

#newyearnewtrip #myanmar This place is known as the Kyaik Htee Yoe Pagoda. It is located in Mon State of Myanmar 🇲🇲. You can travel there by getting a bus/car to Kyaik Htoe City. There will be trucks that take you directly up to the pagoda’s foot or you can also get off at the cable car point. The place is truly marvellous at night, you may be shocked by some travellers sleeping on the floor. You will surely be fascinated by how this rock has been balancing on another rock for so long. It used to have much more distance between the rocks when I was younger but now the adults say it’s closer because of the “people”. If you’re a man, they allow you to get very close and rub the pagoda with golden leaves! Happy Travels ~

The shrine of the Buddha's hair relics Very beautiful at night, the air is cool and comfortable.

#tripfreeaccommodation #Myanmartourism #Phrathat In Hang 📞Hello Hello, I heard and answered. Kyaik Htee Yoe, or what we are familiar with as Phrathat In Hang, is located in Satheun, Myanmar. It is difficult to travel there and private cars are not allowed. There are accommodations and restaurants at the base of the pagoda, but many people come to sleep at the pagoda because it is said that if you come to pay homage 3 times, whatever you ask for will be granted. The name of the pagoda refers to a stone in the shape of a hermit's head, a 5.5-meter gold stone located on the edge of a steep cliff, which is unlikely to happen. Therefore, it is believed that Phra In hung it there. There is also a pagoda modeled after Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani in heaven, on the stone for people to worship. Men can only go inside to apply gold leaf, while women can only pay homage outside.

It is a large golden rock, 5.5 meters high, located on a steep cliff, defying gravity. It looks like it will fall down, but it does not. For this reason, it has been transformed into a place of worship. 🙏It is a wonder that is believed to be a rock that Indra hung up. There is also a pagoda built on the rock, which is a replica of the Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani, which is the Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani, the Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani, the Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani in the Year of the Dog. 🙏Worshiping Phra Kesa Kaew is like worshipping Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani in heaven. 💥Phra Kesa Kaew is also known as one of the wonders of Myanmar. 🛤According to geology, Phra Kesa Kaew is the result of natural erosion of rocks. Appearing in various places around the world, but in this form it is hard to find. 🛤The cause is the lifting of the granite layer and causing cracks both vertically and horizontally. Then, water is the erosion factor, flowing along the cracks in the rock. 🗻Erosion slowly changes the shape of the rock over a long period of time, making the rock look round and deceptively like the rock has been lifted up and placed on the cliff, miraculously. 💥Kyaiktiyo Pagoda: Kyaikto City, Mon State, Myanmar 🌐Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EyAi2GjheYYyKXfq7 🕔Opening - closing hours: 05.00 - 20.00 hrs. #Myanmar #Myanmar attractions #Kyaiktiyo Pagoda

It is the Golden Rock in Myanmar, a famous pilgrimage site. It is known as one of the four great pagodas in Myanmar. The most amazing thing about the Golden Rock is that it has stood on the edge of a steep cliff for hundreds of years despite strong winds and rainstorms. It looks like it is about to fall down, but the pagoda on top has been standing for hundreds of years. This place is a must-see for foreign tourists. The reason why the Big Golden Stone can stand on the side of the mountain in such a gravity-defying way is said to be because there are three hairs of the Buddha hidden in the stone. The Burmese people regard the Golden Rock as a magical place and a Buddhist holy site that they must visit in their lifetime. Many Burmese Buddhists have come here every year to worship, make wishes and fulfill their vows since they were young. #JuneDestinations2024#Myanmar

Kyaiktiyo Pagoda in Burma is a pagoda made of two layers of stacked rocks, but it was created by nature. In addition, there is a Buddhist legend that it contains the relics of the Buddha. Buddhists therefore come to pay homage. This place has beautiful nature and is great for taking pictures. I recommend staying at Lysol Hto Hotel on the east side between six and seven in the morning for great pictures. It's really worth it and impressive.

This is one of the place that we visit in our Myanmar’s trip. We drive around 6 hours from Yangon to Kyaiktiyo. Visitors have to take truck to reach the top of the mountain. Seats are not so comfortable but we felt excited with the driver’s driving skill because it felt like we were in a roller coaster. We can choose to change to cable car in the middle of the mountain. We overnight at the bottom of the mountain. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
