Tips from the community
Myanmar’s Shwedagon Pagoda has a few different names. Also known as the Great Dagon Pagoda and the Golden Pagoda, this all-gold Buddhist pagoda is regarded as the most sacred in the country. Opulence is an understatement when it comes to describing its design, with a crown adorned by precisely 5,448 diamonds and 2,317 rubies (!!). And yes, to top that off — the entire structure is covered in real gold. Since it was constructed nearly 2,600 years ago, it also holds the title for being one of the oldest pagodas in the world.
