An amazing creation of the nature, this rock formation called Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, but also known as "The Golden rock", is located in Mon State, and it is religiously related to the Buddhist pilgrimage site in Myanmar, one of the three biggest in the country. The formation consists of small pagoda built on the top of the granite boulder which is turned into a golden rock by the religious devotees who covered it with pasted golden leaves. There is a legend about that rock, according to which it is scarcely sitting on the strand of Buddha's hair. And it looks like it will roll down the hill every moment, but seems to defy gravity for ages.
