Bagan is renowned for its sunrise and sunset views, and the best place to enjoy these is undoubtedly Shwesandaw Pagoda, the tallest pagoda in Bagan. The pagoda has five levels, each with a terrace to linger on, but you have to climb steep stairs first. Those afraid of heights might feel shaky, but once you reach the top, it's worth the effort. Shwesandaw Pagoda covers a large area, and because of its height and the lack of tall buildings in Bagan, the view from the top is excellent. You can even see the Irrawaddy River. Every day at sunrise and sunset, the place is packed with people eager to witness the beautiful scenery. During sunrise, you can also see hot air balloons drifting into the sky, which is quite a lucky sight. The pagoda is a standard red-brick structure, with the bottom two levels in red brick and the top three levels painted white, making it quite striking. Besides the panoramic views, the pagoda also houses relics of Buddha's hair and a large reclining Buddha statue, which are worth seeing. However, after the pandemic, for safety and heritage preservation reasons, climbing pagodas in Bagan has been completely banned. Climbing Shwesandaw Pagoda to enjoy the sunrise and sunset is now a thing of the past, which is quite a pity.

#2024Travel Review The Buddhist temple #Mahabodhi Temple next to the hotel in Bagan is a white pointed conical pagoda. The pagoda is full of Buddhist niches, and each frame is filled with Buddha statues. It is very un-Burmese style. It is said that it was built by King Hitlominlo in the 13th century. , modeled after the Mahabodhi Temple in Bengal, India, where the Buddha first attained enlightenment, it is an Indian-style Buddhist temple. The Mahabodhi Temple is small and admission is free, but you need to take off your shoes. It is quite empty inside. When you look up, you can see a cave. This is how it is described. But to be honest, the appearance of the Buddhist temple is more interesting and beautiful. Resembling a white-pointed stupa, hundreds of small niches decorate the outer walls and the aforementioned tower, each containing a small Buddha statue. The Mahabodhi Temple is really special. Its appearance is very different from the thousands of pagodas in Bagan. You can stop and admire it when you pass by. #MyanmarTravel #BaganKingdom

After visiting the founding pagoda of the Bagan Kingdom, we arrived at the last Burmese-style pagoda of Bagan, Htilominlo Pagoda, built by King Htilominlo in 1218. The spire stands prominently on the vast plain, making it quite conspicuous. Htilominlo Pagoda is a typical red brick structure, with a pyramid-like spire symbolizing Mount Meru, the sacred mountain in Buddhism. The main tower is tall and majestic, surrounded by smaller towers on all four sides, symbolizing the four corners of the earth. The corridors, statues, murals, and reliefs are adorned with brick carvings on the walls, and there are relief Buddha statues under the walls, resembling a fine piece of craftsmanship. When we visited, the bougainvillea was in full bloom, and the pagoda was surrounded by red and white bougainvillea flowers, making it a perfect spot for social media photos. Usually, there are vendors gathered around large pagoda temples. After worshipping the Buddha statues, you can browse the handicrafts and buy a cup of freshly squeezed sugarcane juice to quench your thirst and cool off.

Visited the Shwesandaw Pagoda, the founding pagoda of the Bagan Kingdom, on a hot afternoon. It is now one of the four major pagodas in Myanmar. The scale and grandeur are truly astonishing, and even the term 'resplendent' falls short of describing its magnificence. To enter the Shwesandaw Pagoda, you need to pass through a long corridor that provides some shade, making the walk relatively comfortable. However, once you reach the pagoda grounds, you have to take off your shoes! The ground is scorching hot, and you can only stand in the shaded areas outside to admire the pagoda, or else your feet will burn! Besides the resplendent main pagoda, there are three other highlights: a statue of the Naga descending from the sky, a small puddle that reflects the pagoda, and a father and son Buddha statue. Unfortunately, the top of the pagoda was under maintenance during our visit, covered with white cloth, making it look like it was wrapped in snow, which was quite cute. The Shwesandaw Pagoda, said to be the prototype of Myanmar's pagodas, features a three-tiered square base, an octagonal platform, and a bell-shaped tower, exuding stability and solemnity. Each of the four sides has a large niche housing a 4-meter tall standing Buddha.

#2024Travel Review There are thousands of pagodas scattered on the plains of Bagan, Myanmar. They are scattered on both sides of the plains and river valleys. Among them, there is the most special shape of the #Tamamayajig Pagoda, which looks like a pyramid from a distance. The tower-like appearance is quite majestic. The Mayaji Pagoda was built in 1170 AD. It is a typical pyramid-style building and the largest brick-walled structure among the existing pagodas in Bagan. It is made of red bricks from the inside to the outside. It is said that millions of dollars were spent on it. Bricks! And the seams are tight, with almost no gaps between bricks. The craftsmanship at that time was quite powerful. Walking through the outer wall to the inner courtyard, there are some small vendors, and the trees are covered with small humanoid puppets, which is a bit fantasy. The light and shadow changes in the pagoda are very beautiful, probably because it is large enough to be reflected on the wall, so it is also a popular place to watch the sunrise and sunset. #MyanmarTravel #BaganKingdom

Exploring the ancient city of Bagan in Myanmar, we visit the largest existing temple, Ananda Pagoda. Built in 1105 AD, this white temple is named after Ananda, one of the ten principal disciples of Buddha Shakyamuni. It is a rare white temple, earning it the title of 'the most beautiful pagoda in all of Bagan.' Ananda Temple is grand in scale, with whitewashed walls that emit a faint pink glow under sunlight, making it exceptionally elegant and beautiful. The architectural style blends Indian and Mon styles, with a magnificent gilded spire as its hallmark. Inside the temple, there are four large Buddha statues facing different directions: Kassapa Buddha, Konagamana Buddha, Kakusandha Buddha, and Shakyamuni Buddha. The atmosphere is solemn and majestic, attracting many worshippers, making it the most popular temple in Bagan. Just like the temples in Taiwan, the area around Ananda Temple is bustling with vendors. There are various markets and some snacks available. After paying respects, you might as well take a stroll and hunt for treasures.

# Gallery #100 Ways to Travel Because of the political turmoil, very few people will travel to #Myanmar. In fact, Myanmar is a Buddhist country and is more simple. Especially the ancient city #Bagan, which is also known as the city of a thousand pagodas, with thousands of pagodas. The pagodas are scattered in the valley of the Bagan plain, which is super spectacular! Coming here has a sense of adventure, no wonder it is so popular among Western self-guided travelers. If you want to understand the history of #BaganKingdom, in addition to visiting the pagoda, the best way is to visit #BaganArchaeological Museum Bagan Archaeological Museum, a museum and art museum that combines archaeological history and traditional skills. Built in the early 1990s, the museum has a collection of more than 800 items, including archaeological culture, Buddhist statues, pottery, murals, etc. The museum itself has a very distinctive building, imitating the shape of Bagan's pagoda, with an octagonal base. The two-story exhibition hall is divided into ten different themed exhibition areas: Bagan Kingdom, Bagan Literature, Social Life, Architecture, and Art. Crafts, statues, Buddhist art, murals, stupas and monuments, paintings. It’s actually quite interesting to walk around and look at the flowers. There is an area that displays popular hairstyles in ancient Myanmar. The wigs are displayed one by one, which is quite interesting! There is also a bronze statue of Hou Yi shooting the sun at the entrance of the museum? In fact, it is a legend that King Pyo, the third monarch of the Bagan Kingdom, killed his enemies with bows and arrows. #MyanmarTravel #BaganKingdom #Buddhist Pagoda #Art Gallery #100 Ways to Travel

# sunset # 100 ways to travel Myanmar's #Bagan Kingdom is known as the City of Ten Thousand Pagodas. Thousands of pagodas are scattered on the plains on both sides of the Irrawaddy River. They are as spectacular as dots. As long as you climb up to the pagodas and look down, you can feel surrounded by ten thousand pagodas. It is a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset. The sunrise and sunset of Bagan are world-famous. However, some pagodas are large and some are small, some are dilapidated and dilapidated, and not all of them can be climbed. You also have to pay attention to the steep stone walls and be very careful. The pagoda where we watched the sunset this time is Pyathetgyi Pagoda. It is one of the few pagodas that can be climbed. The entire pagoda is made of red bricks and is relatively intact. Climbing up to the platform of the pagoda, you can enjoy the surrounding scenery 360 degrees. The yellow sand and dust make it even more hazy, and set against the gradient of the sunset. The beauty is incredible and very shocking! There is a sense of vastness and vastness. #BaganKingdom #Myanmar #Buddhist Pagoda #Sunset #100 Ways to Travel

#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

The sunset in the #Ayeyarwady River in the geography textbook turns out to be so beautiful. Aye Yar River View Resort is located on the bank of the Ayeyarwaddy River, with natural beauty, green land and blue sky, and Nanyang tropical-style resort architecture, which is very chill. On New Year's Eve of 2017, I visited #BaganKingdom in Myanmar and stayed at the second hotel in the ancient city of #Bagan. The resort's room type is a two-story villa building with simple earth tones, giving it a vibe of the dusty ancient city. The atrium is landscaped with a swimming pool, and the lights turn on at night to create a particularly atmospheric atmosphere. The overall environment of the Resort is quite comfortable, the beds are good, and the air-conditioning is cool. However, it is a rural outback after all, and many details are not so thoughtful. However, the outdoor swimming pool, bar, and Burmese restaurant are still indispensable. The ancient city of Bagan is known as the City of Ten Thousand Pagodas. The sunrise and sunset scenery here are world-famous. Whether it is at the pagoda or the Irrawaddy River, you can enjoy the amazing golden glow. It is extremely beautiful! #Myanmar #BaganKingdom #City of Ten Thousand Pagodas #aeyarwaddy #bagan

#2024Travel Review Have you ever received a ticket issued by hand? My first domestic flight experience in Myanmar, #Bagan Nyaung-U Airport is a very special small airport. The terminal is shaped like a Buddhist temple and the small lobby looks modern. However, all the boarding procedures are manual! After checking in at the check-in counter, you can directly issue your ticket by handwriting! You read that right, the flight number, time, and boarding person’s name are all handwritten with a signature pen. It’s really cool! During the baggage delivery process, a difficult-to-use X-ray scanning machine is used, and a small truck will be picked up directly after the inspection. Then the flight schedule was written directly on the whiteboard! Oh my God, it’s so cool and ancient! But don’t worry, because there are only two flights during this period, and the staff will issue identification stickers and stick them on your clothes, so you don’t have to worry about taking the wrong flight! I was startled again. When it came time to board the plane, the airport was obviously very small, so we had to arrange a car to take us to the apron, which took less than 1 minute! Although it is a small twin-propeller aircraft, it is quite comfortable to sit on. By the way, there are no reserved seats, you can sit freely! The first time I took a plane, I chose free seating. It was so cool! Since the flight from Bagan to Yangon has a stopover in Mandalay, after the plane lands in Mandalay, you will see people getting off the plane and people getting on the plane. Those who don’t have to transfer just sit where they are! Thought you were taking a train? All in all, it was an amazing experience, super cool! #MyanmarTravel #BaganKingdom #Mandalay #Yangon #Nyaung-U Airport
