Still known to much of the world as Burma, Myanmar has been off of travellers' destination lists for too long. The country has a collection of stunning Buddhist monuments and a bucolic Southeast Asian countryside — both of which are typified by Bagan, a temple town and one of the country’s greatest tourist draws.
Framed by the Ayeyarwady River, Bagan occupies an impressive 67 sq km (26 sq mi), 690 km (429 mi) north of Yangon. Over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains, of which the remains of over 2,200 temples and pagodas still survive to the present day. It is seen by many as an equal to Cambodia's Angkor Wat.
