Bagan, the ancient capital of what was once the ancient kingdom of Burma.

In what is known as the land of the sheets of fire and sun, behind the Yoma mountain range that separates central Burma in coastal areas of western and extending along the Bay of Bengal, lies the ancient city Bagan, formerly known by its former name of Pagan, also known for being one of the most beautiful cities as well, and tried to UNESCO historical monument several times. This city has thousands of pagodas and temples, which are wrapped with a play of light and natural effects at dusk appreciable effect see once in life, it is wonderful and hypnotist, noting the effect of the sun when it is hidden in the horizon on these structures of breathtaking beauty. This is the time when the stars begin to flash in the sky, making it one of the shows of one of the most spectacular sunsets sun planet.




Yes, Bagan is beautiful and has its own charm; but it is much more than meets the eye. Bagan's history is the story of a kingdom it is growing history, monuments and intoxicating culture. Rich in tradition and really quiet, to enjoy a unique holiday and that they will never forget place. This cosmopolitan city has a host of the Asian continent, about 2,162 pagodas and temples of the golden age of Pagan largest historic structures.

Around this ancient city we can find, dry and dusty plains that are, despite the significant increase in the number of tourists, one of the attractions of this corner of Burma. Many of these temples are a stunning tribute to Buddhism, especially Theravada Buddhist temple, but otherwise there is nothing to indicate that was the heart of power, political and economic center of the great kingdom of Pagan.





None of the current characteristics of Bagan corresponds with generally associated with the idea of ​​a city. By contrast, foreign Bagan seems to be nothing more than a village sparsely populated and covered with bamboo huts and wooden houses, but the fact is that extends over an area of ​​104 square kilometers and in each of its corners there is a monument only cultural, it is true that infrastructure leave something to be desired, but otherwise fully let us see how people lived in that city hundreds of years ago. Moreover it does not have many luxury hotels and resorts, but what it does have is a cuisine and wonderful, friendly people with the passenger.
