Would definitely recommend going here! We found it to be a very relaxing place and hundreds of white stupas were beautiful! A nice place to relax if you have time sit down in the shade and read a book!

Bulethi

Reviewed By GeneralShamu - New York City, United States

This one was a bit damaged in the most recent earthquake that hit Bagan. Worth a visit in case it doesn't survive much longer... (Bagan is on a fault line).

Reviewed By 188rossb - Shenley, United Kingdom

We went by boat across the river by Bagan visiting villages and finished up on a sunny afternoon at this newly coated with gold leaf Pagoda, which shone in the afternoon sun. We were the only ones there and spent ages looking at the fantastic views back across the river to Bagan

Yandabo Village Pottery

Reviewed By wbelgum - Aldershot, United Kingdom

This is a village devoted to making pottery and you get a chance to see different types of pots being made. It is not a factory as each family make their own pots and add their own decoratings. The finished items are taken to town for sale, thousands of them.

Yadana Man Aung Pagoda

Reviewed By CoupleTaale - Breclav, Czech Republic

If you want to see it, you will have to pay 25K to go there and they will tell you its the ticket for the whole area. This is the temple where the buses go first to buy their "ticket" You cant pay just for this pagoda which is bad.. coz every other temple or pagoda is free in area. The paid one are definitely not that worth it.. they are kinda crowded
