Temples of Bagan - Myanmar

Destination: Bagan, Myanmar (Burma).
Cities: Yangoon Bagan

Highlights: Myanmar also previously known as Burma is well known for their natural resourses. One of the wolf heritage sites in Myanmar is the Bagan Temples. Another interesting site is the Mandaley lake where you can see the peddling boats.

Getting there: There are many connecting flights to the capital city of Myanmar known as Yangoon. Once you get to Myanmar you can either drive to Bagan or fly by a domestic airline to the highlands and take a vehical from there.

Myanmar is very different to other countries. I felt as if Myanmar was communist but I never took the time to research. The people are really nice. Specially the females. They have special features and differeniate from neighbouring countries such as Thailand and also China. 

Myanmar has a lot of natural resources, they also have a huge amount of gold reserves and the land is enourmously fertile. As you can see in the picture there are alot of temples in Bagan. On each of these temples, on the top of each pagoda gives a semi previous stone. 

There is also one specific pagoda in the centre of Bagan City which is completely made of pure gold. 

Weather is quite warm overal except for highlands.


Tip: dont forget to have a myanmar beer. 5% alcohol but trust me just one bottle of beer got me going on
