Top 7 Ancient Ruins in Bagan, Mandalay Region
Bagan (Burmese: ပုဂံ; MLCTS: pu.gam, IPA: [bəɡàɴ]; formerly Pagan) is an ancient city located in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar. From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Pagan Kingdom, the first kingdom that unified the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar. During the kingdom's height between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains alone, of which the remains of over 2,200 temples and pagodas still survive to the present day.

Absolutely loved it here - now one of our favourite ever places. Getting up at 5.30am to see the sunrise and balloons sets a wonderful tone to the day and seeing the temples - and hiring e-bikes was just wonderful - they were plenty fast enough and you are just free to go where you please, independently with just a dusty breeze upon you - worth bringing a face mask. Loved it here...

I just want to review the dance troupe we saw at Bagan Palace and give them a big thumbs up. Rather embarrassingly there were only seven of us in the audience. The show was excellent though with a dance troupe of around thirty giving brief performances of a wide range of traditional Burmese dances, including a panto elephant and a moustached comedian. As others said there are some questions as to the authenticity of the Palace reconstruction but it made a spectacular backdrop for the performance. We worth 20 usd. I believe they hold performances every night in the Peak season. 7.30pm, tickets on the door.
