You won’t believe this place in Myanmar…
Nestled along the Irrawaddy River lies Bagan, a breathtaking ancient city once home to over 10,000 Buddhist temples — all built over 800 years ago in just 26 square miles.
Despite Mongol invasions, earthquakes, and relentless monsoons, over 2,000 temples still stand today, whispering stories of devotion, resilience, and history.
The city was built to honor Buddhism and to establish Bagan as a center of spiritual learning and pilgrimage.
Must-See:
Ananda Temple — Built 1,000 years ago, this temple holds four towering golden Buddhas, each facing a cardinal direction. Legend has it, the king was so obsessed with its beauty, he had the architects executed to ensure it was never replicated.
