Golden Rock Pagoda is one of the famous destination in Myanmar Burma.

This small 18-foot-high Kyaiktiyo or Golden Rock Pagoda is located in the jungle in Kyaikhto Township of Mon State near the Thai boarder town of Mae Sot on Kyaikhtiyo Hill at an elevation of 1100 metres above sea level.
When you see the Golden Rock you’ll forget that you’re covered in sweat, exhausted, and have just hiked 12-kilometers up a mountain – the sight is breathtaking. A giant golden boulder with a pagoda on top seems to do the impossible: defy gravity. It’s precariously perched on a small ledge extending from the top of an Eastern Yoma mountain, and appears ready to fall at any moment.

Hill of Crosses

hill_crosses_01.jpg
The tradition of placing crucifixes on a hill at the Lithuanian border was founded as early as the 14th century to defy foreign insurgents, and continues today as a statement of cultural identity.
Although it’s a very old tradition, very few of the existing crosses date from earlier than 1985. The Hill of Crosses has a long history of being levelled by oppressors (including three times during the Soviet era when the crosses were burned and reduced to scrap and the land covered in sewage). The way the population of Lithuania continue to return and replaces the crosses on the hill is part of what makes this a sacred site for Catholics all over the world.
