Kyaik Htee Yoe pagoda is not only one of the famous pagodas but also major tourist attraction in Myanmar. Many foreigners are willing to visit this pagoda because of it's interesting history. This one is pretty interesting and this story took place over 2500 years ago. The tradition said that this relic is a hair of Gotama Buddha given to a hermit residing on the mountain by the Buddha himself as he was returning from the second heaven of the Nats whither he had gone to preach the law to his mother. Then the hermit enshrined it in the stupa on top of the rock.It's pretty interesting that the rock wights 611.5 tons but it doesn't fall down form the cliff as you can see in the photo.
Next thing is that if you make visit to Kyaik Htee Yoe, you can feel the beauty of the nature because the trail is made across the rain forest. Along the way, you can also learn about the culture of Myanmar people _ how they live and how they make their living, especially the villagers.(:
If you reach there, another place you must not fail to pay a visit is the pleasant Waterfall. Fortunately, if the day you travel to Kyaik Htee Yoe is one the festival days, you can enjoy both the festival and Myanmar cuisine.Labels: Posted by Aung
