Gold prayer wheels spin on the outside of Taktshang Monastery or Tiger's Nest near Paro, Bhutan.
Tradition tells that Guru Rinpoche rode in on the back of flying tiger to meditate in a cave beneath where this monastery now lies. He meditated for a month straight leaving his impression on a rock in the cave and then departed.
