Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Temple
Ananda Temple
The Ananda temple presents a plan organized around halls and great representations of the Buddha. It belongs to the sacred landscape of Bagan; the inner routes must be confirmed according to the state of the site.
Temple
Dhammayangyi Temple
Dhammayangyi is distinguished by its mass of brick and its settlement in the Bagan plain. The photograph documents a monument; it does not allow to affirm that its galleries are open.
Paged
Shwezigon Pagoda
Shwezigon combines a golden stupa with spaces for worship and circulation. It belongs to a living religious tradition, distinct from the plain’s archaeological remains alone.
Temple
Thatbyinnyu Temple
Thatbyinnyu is one of the high silhouettes of the monumental landscape of Bagan. Its levels and its state of conservation should not be assimilated to a possibility to climb on the monument.
