Shwedagon Pagoda, the most sacred pagoda in Myanmar

The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is the most important Buddhist temple in Yangon and even in Myanmar. Legend has it that this temple, which was built 2,500 years ago, is the spiritual support of the local people and a spiritual indicator for the Burmese people.

You must go barefoot when you go up to the Shwedagon Pagoda, not even wearing socks.

The tower body is made of real gold blocks, not gold-plated, and the whole tower is shining with gold😀😀

The reason why the Shwedagon Pagoda is famous and has a high status is that it enshrines the relics of four Buddhas, including the staff of the Buddha Kukkutsuna, the water purifier of the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment, the robe of the Buddha Kasyapa, and the eight hairs of the Buddha Sakyamuni.
