The ancient city of Bagan is located 145 km southeast of Mandalay. Because it is a land without a rainy season, visitors can visit this place at any time of the year. Coming here, visitors will be free to explore the temples and pagodas built from the 11th to 13th centuries. It is estimated that there are more than 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries scattered across the plains in central Myanmar, of which more than 2,200 temples and pagodas still exist today. However, due to the large number of temples and pagodas, many of the architectural works were not regularly maintained and were destroyed and damaged. In 1990, the Myanmar government tried to restore the damaged works according to the original design, using modern materials, but this plan was immediately rejected by historians and heritage conservationists around the world. Because the temples were not restored to their original historical form, UNESCO refused to recognize the city as a world heritage site.  |
Watching the sunrise and sunset in Bagan is a very popular tourist activity for all visitors when coming here to visit. At dawn, the sun rises from the horizon, painting this vast plain in brilliant orange and yellow tones. This is truly a wonderful time to see the temples of Bagan lit up in the sunlight.
As the sun sets, the sky is dotted with blue clouds, but is soon “dyed” with purple and a faint golden light that looks spectacular.
Entering the ancient temples of Bagan, visitors will be impressed by the unique architecture. Large Buddha statues line the walkways, the walls are brightly colored in red and orange tones, decorated with very delicate carvings.
Not only can visitors explore ancient temples in Bagan, they also have the opportunity to enjoy local specialties and visit traditional weaving villages...
If you intend to travel to the beautiful country of Myanmar, the city of "thousand temples" - Bagan is a great choice for you.
