To reach Kyiaktiyo one must drive north to Bago (Pegu) and then turn south and drive into the Mon state for another 4 hours. Kyiaktiyo is one of the most revered Buddhist sites in Myanmar and is located high on a mountain.
It is know as the Balancing or Golden Rock and is supposedly held in place by a delicatedly placed hair of the Buddha. Vehicles are not permitted near the top where the Golden Rock sits so visitors must walk up the hill for about 45 minutes to reach the site. A further drive south of XX hours will take you to Mawlaymine, a former capital of British Burma and Myanmar’s third largest city with a population of 300,000 pax. Some old colonial buildings are still in evidence and a visit to the villages of nearby Ogre Island in interesting. |
