The Golden Rock, Myanmar - February 21, 2014 : Beautiful scene of Kyaiktiyo Pagoda at The Golden Rock, perched atop a cliff near Yangon, is one of the most sacred sites in Burma. The great boulder precariously balances on the edge of a cliff and is topped by a small stupa. An endless stream of pilgrims come to admire the sight and add squares of gold leaf to its surface. According to legend, it is kept in place by a single hair of the Buddha.
