Things to do in Bagan

It is the founding pagoda, the prototype of modern pagodas in Myanmar, and one of the four most famous pagodas in Myanmar. It is not only the largest pagoda in the Bagan area, but also the only pagoda built of stone in the Bagan pagoda complex. It has a long history and is the first Burmese-style pagoda. I like it here very much!

The tower is made of large red bricks, which are so tightly connected that even a needle cannot be inserted. Although Bagan is a plain, there are no tall buildings and many tall towers, so the sunrise and sunset are very beautiful.

Built in the 3rd century, the Bupaya Pagoda was originally the oldest pagoda in Bagan. The pagoda we see now was rebuilt after the 1975 earthquake. The Bupaya Pagoda is shaped like a gourd. Legend has it that when Thamuddarit, the first king of the Bagan Plain, ruled the country, he encountered five monsters, including tigers, flying rats, boars, big birds and a big gourd, which were eating people. It was not until Prince Pyusawhti took the magic bowl to subdue the five monsters and built a pagoda where the monsters were conquered. The Bupaya Pagoda was built on the bank of the Irrawaddy River. We stayed here for more than 10 minutes. The sun was really scorching. During lunch, KOKO suggested that we go to the river to avoid the midday sun. He said that he had a friend who was driving a boat and could take us to the river to blow the wind and take a rest. However, we had to pay. We were exhausted and followed KOKO to the pergola by the river without thinking much.

The scenery of Luojiananda Tower is great! The architectural style is unique and charming, with a unique tower. The sunrise and sunset are very beautiful and charming. It is very interesting and a good place for taking photos. It is worth recommending to everyone.

It is very beautiful. You can see the Irrawaddy River from the tower, and you can also see hundreds of pagodas around it. This city is very simple. When you come here, you feel that everything has calmed down. You can feel the charm of Buddhist culture devoutly.

Heard it was possible to climb in the past but not now. Firstly, almost all Buddhist pagodas are not climbable. I was able to climb one pagoda along the river that didn't seem e-bike friendly and further east along the market, but it seems to be manageable now unless it's far from there. However, even without it, it's a beautiful Buddhist pagoda.

It is a very large pagoda. When you look at it from a high place, you can really feel the shock it had back then. The beauty of the sunrise and sunset is beyond description. Only when you are there can you feel the magnificence.

The spire of Sulamani was also destroyed in the earthquake and is still under construction. There are five doors in total, and the east-facing porch is the largest and has a cool breeze. What's more exciting is that these murals are currently allowed to be touched and photographed freely.
