BAGAN

On par with Angor Wat, Bagan ranks as one of the great wonders of the world. Thousands of temples – some complete and some little more than crumbling piles of brick – dot a dry, dusty plain, a legacy of the vision of the devout Buddhist King Anawratha, who ordered the first structures built in 1057. When Kublai Khan pillaged Bagan in 1287 the plain is said to have housed 13,000 pagodas.
