Bagan, majestic site of Myanmar, where you can make your pick of thousands of old temples dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see.
Bagan is an amazing destination in Myanmar, and certainly on a par with other great monuments of the civilization of mankind. The sheer size, more than forty square kilometres dotted with temples large and small, makes anyone in awe. But what is more, Bagan is a place that can easily be explored in many ways. Each visitor, unless in an organized tour, will have a different story to tell, because no one will visit the same temples, as there are so many to chose from. A bicycle is a great way to explore, even the sandy paths are not too difficult to negotiate, and distances are not all that big. Some temples are simple, small, but with unexpected beautiful frescoes inside; others are enormous, like Ananda Pahto, which reminds the European visitor mostly of a gigantic cathedral. While sunset was a less spectacular than expected, I was thrilled at the fantastic scene of sunrise over Bagan.
