The Temples at Bagan


One place I would visit in Southeast Asia would be the Temples at Bagan, Myanmar. This is because it is very beautiful and is a sacred spot in Asia. Bagan is an ancient city located in the Mandalay region of Burma. From the 9th 13th centuries, it was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan. Bagan rulers and their wealthy built over 10,000 religious monuments. Unfortunately, there has been many (over 400) earthquakes in Bagan. The earthquakes destroyed many temples. Now, only 2,229 temples and pagodas (a tiered tower) left. Would you like to visit this area?What other places in Southeast Asia would you like to visit?
