One of Bhuddisms most famous sites, the Shwedagon dominates
the heart of Yangon. Its many stupas are
coated with 27 tons of gold leaf and its spires are inset with rubies, diamonds
and many other gems. We visited at
sunset when the gold glowed almost bronze in the diminishing light. It was here that Aung San Suu Kyi spoke to
massive crowds in 1988 and this was the centre of the monks protests in 2007
