Bagan, Mandalay division

Bagan is rightfully world-famous. Aptly nicknamed "the valley of a thousand pagodas", this UNESCO-listed site is immensely beautiful. Ruins of the long-gone Pagan Kingdom dot the plains for square miles - temples, monasteries, shrines, and stupas. Sunrise views of Bagan are predictably the first photographs you are likely to see when researching travel possibilities in Myanmar online.
