Temples, stupas and pagodas
Myanmar has long been renowned for its extraordinary religious monuments scattered across the country. Between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the plains of Bagan, of which the remains of over 2,200 still survive to the present day. Explore the huge and beautifully preserved Ananda Temple, see the large and elegant Sulamani Guphaya Temple, admire the imposing Shwesandaw Pagoda or go to Shwezigon Pagoda, a traditional Myanmar temple complex. Climbing the iconic pagodas of Bagan is prohibited.
Enjoy fantastic sunset views at gem-encrusted Shwedagon Pagoda – one of Buddhism’s most sacred sites, towering over the Burmese city of Yangon. Approximately 10 kilometres northwest of Mandalay, you'll find the Mingun Pagoda, a massive unfinished stupa with the second largest ringing bell in the world. Mandalay’s Mahamuni Pagoda and Shwenandaw Kyaung (Golden Palace Monastery) shouldn’t be missed. You can also explore the Kuthodaw Pagoda that contains the world's largest book or visit the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, the legendary gold-leaf covered boulder perched dangerously on the edge of a cliff.
