Praying at Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar.<\/h2>\n
Myanmar<\/div>\n

The most sacred stupa in Myanmar, 2,500-year-old, one simply must visit it to behold the great gilded pagoda, walk around, and say a prayer or meditate here. Despite being a huge draw for tourists, the atmosphere here remains very tranquil. The best time to visit is in early evening, when you can see the changing colours of the sky, the stupa turning a more intense gold, and the flickering glow of candles.<\/p>\n
