Bagan (link)
is an anxious town southern of Mandalay located on the Irravady river.
The place is really amazing, as you can find thousands of pagodas and
temples lying in the beautiful landscape.
The place itself is not only beautiful, but also quite relaxed and quiet, that's why I stayed a bit longer than most tourists do.
As Bagan is one of the major tourist attractions of Myanmar you can get there easily by bus, boat or plane from Mandalay, Yangon but also from Inle lake.
I will not comment all temples or Buddha statues you can see on the pictures, cause I don't even know all names of them - but the link above mentions some of the most famous ones by name.
View from one temple down to others...
People were driving cars, buses and motorbikes, but it was in Bagan much more quiet, than at most places before I visited in Asia - therefore I like this picture very much.
One of the locals, carrying some goods.
bird nests right next to a restaurant
Three local ladies with a tourist from Singapore
Me enjoying the nice view on the roof of one temple...
It was really amazing how many Germans I met on the trip, which was in deed very nice to hang around after quite a while with Germans, especially when they were so nice like Maria. That evening we were on the shore of Irravady river siting next to a fire and enjoying some beer.
A lot of people are very eager to take pictures at sun- rise or -set, so I had to do the same, but choose the lazy version ;-)
Some kids playing in the shade...
On the way to an temple, which is located on an hill => sorry forget the name of it ;-)
