Bagan Travel Tips
Bagan is notable for its expanse of
sacred geography, the number and size of their individual
ancient monuments. The ruins of Bagan cover an area of 16
square miles. The majority of its buildings were built in
the 11th to 13th centuries, during the time Bagan was the
capital of the Myanmar dynasty. Bagan is also the first
place to have transformed into a religious and cultural
centre, by Shin Arahan who brought Theravada Buddhism to
this land. Bagan is full of ancient architectural designs,
mural paintings, precious frescoes and stone inscriptions to
see for yourself, and also it is the centre for the
manufacturing of lacquerware products in Myanmar. Hence it
is marked as a cultural heritage of the Myanmar People, and
also a landmark full of ancient pagodas and monuments which
can be rarely encountered today. Bagan is one of the major
historical landmarks of Asia and represents the outstanding
achievement of Theravada Buddhism. Most of the site were
damaged by the 1975 earthquake and cooperation with UNESCO
projects help some experimental conservation work,
restoration of mural paintings and maintaining some of the
rare monuments.
