What Lonely Planet said: One of Myanmar’s main attractions, this is a temple town. The area known as Bagan or, bureaucratically, as the ‘Bagan Archaeological Zone’, occupies an impressive 26-sq-mile area, 118 miles south of Mandalay and 429 miles north of Yangon. The Ayeyarwady River drifts past its northern and western sides.
I was there: December 11, 2013 - December 12, 2013
Cameras used: Canon EOS 40D & Samsung Galaxy Note
