"The Shwedagon Pagoda, situated on Singuttara Hill in the center of Yangon (Rangoon), is the most sacred Buddhist stupa in Myanmar and one of the most important religious reliquary monuments in the world. The proposed property includes the hill atop of which the main stupa is located, the hill-top reliquary stupa and associated religious buildings and sacred statuary, bells, and other emblems situated on the hill, as well as the hill’s surrounding sacred perimeter. The proposed property comprises a total area of 46.3 hectares."

Shwedagon Pagoda in the heart of Yangon, Myanmar (formerly Rangoon, Burma). I climbed up this awesome temple, barefooted as required. This nice card is provided by England Vision Optical. Thanks to Bryan Wu who lives in Yangon.
