A unique shrine - you must visit here! BUT, be prepared: 1. The only transport is a cargo vehicle adapted for the transport of pilgrims. 2. A huge number of pilgrims. 3. Women are not allowed directly to the stone. 4. Constant strong wind at the top. 5. Remember that you will have to enter the territory of the shrine without shoes! 6. I advise you not to forget to buy a piece of gold leaf to add it to the stone!

The views within and from the pagoda are spectacular. Why would you not put a pagoda in this perfect location? A great place to see the evening in - particularly if the sunset is wonderful!!

Mawlamyaine is a worth visiting city, with many tourist attraction sites including the great Golden Rock Pagoda(Kyaik Htee Yoe Pagoda) On the way, you can drop in to this Reclining Buddha, which has many floors inside the statue(4 or 5 I can't remember) where you can learn about the previous lives of Gatama Buddha. The dead body of founder monk, Win Sein Taw Ya Sayadaw, can be seen inside the building near the Buddha image. It is said the monk became 'Arahat' or 'Person having attained Nivana'. It is a must to see. The sad story about the Buddha Statue is that the construction of the statue haven't finished yet because of financial problem. And need donations. Opposite to reclining Buddha statue, there is also another reclining Buddha statue under construction. I don't think both Statue will be 100% finished construction. The founder monk was very famous and many Buddhists contributed donations. Upon the death of monk, no more donation.
8. Death Railway
