Review:
Standing on the eastern banks of the Ayeyarwady River, Bagan is an ancient city that is renowned for its Bagan Archaeological Area. There are over 2,000 ancient temples in this famed archaeological site, all of which combined create a stunning landscape of stupas towering amongst a lush, green background. The wondrous metropolis is gleaming with beautiful ritual artistry and jaw-dropping ruins that every person visiting Myanmar must experience. The temples are believed to be a product of the 12th century, and at its prime would have had over 10,000 temples and pagodas. Bagan is best toured on foot so that you can get an up-close experience with the ruins, but hot air balloon rides are also available for stunning aerial views.
