Bagan, Myanmar - Sunset Golden Pagoda on the Irrawaddy River: Bu Paya

#100 Ways to Travel Visiting #BaganKingdom in Myanmar, the pagoda #Bupaya closest to the #Irrawaddy River is gold-plated. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it looks even more golden, and the river surface is also dyed golden by the setting sun. It is really beautiful. What a beautiful sight! Bupaya is one of the oldest pagodas in Myanmar. Bu means gourd. It dates back to the third century AD, making it older than any temple in Bagan. However, the original pagoda was destroyed during the earthquake in 1975, and it was rebuilt later. The golden pagoda coupled with the vast river surface is an excellent place to enjoy the sunset, and it is next to the pier. You can also choose to enjoy it by boat, but it is more beautiful from the shore. As for the daytime, under the scorching sun, it is even more glittering. However, the floor is very hot and the sun is shining brightly. It is recommended to visit in the evening at sunset. #BurmaFreeTravel #BaganKingdom #City of Thousand Pagodas #Irrawaddy River
