Shwedagon Pagoda, in the centre of Yangon, is one<br />

of the most sacred Buddhist sites in <strong>Myanmar</strong>,<br />

which enshrines strands of Buddha's hair.<br />

almost 110 meters high.<br />

It's covered with hundreds of gold plates and the<br />

top of the stupa is encrusted with 4531 diamonds,<br />

the largest of which is a 72 carat diamond.<br />

The central stupa is surrounded by a ring of<br />

smaller stupas and temples.
