The first activity of the day is hunt the
sunrise and photograph from a high angle in the temple Buledi. To have a nice
angle, you should go from 4:30 am. These temples thousands of mystery are made
of laterite which is steep and slippery. You use the torch lighting and climb
slowly up the ladder, go up to the position near the top of the temple.
6 o’clock, the sun rises, radiates the first light, creates red, orange and
yellow colors and dissipates the fog. Thousands of large and small tops of temples bringing the feature of Bagan region appear in
far away, glowing with red under the morning sun.
You may suggest the rider take you to Mahabodhi temple-a striking temple named and having the architecture which are very similar to Bodhigaya temples (Bodhgaya) originating from India. The reason for this is that the pagoda was destroyed by Bodh Gaya in India, and Bagan Buddhist leader had sent a delegation of artisans to help rebuild it. Then when returning to Myanmar, the artisans had built this pagoda in Indian prototypes.
In order to discoverBagan more, at noon, you
stop at the food store Golden Myanmar Buffet. There, you freely enjoy many
typical dishes of Burma. The motto of the restaurant is "All you can eat",
so you can eat as long as you want. It has a lot of dishes like pork stock,
beef tendon stew, chicken stock, fish fry, fried bean-ticks with cauliflower
carrot, fried bitter melon, mango julienne tomato, ketchup, sauces chicken,
satay, salad, cucumber, eggplant, vegetables and water mint. When you finished
the main meal, server will serve the dessert: tea leaf pickle, julienne mango,
roasted sesame beans. Eating these three things together will create the strange
taste.

In the cool afternoon, you visit the temple
Dhammayangyi from the 12th century with the pyramidal block type. This is the
temple bringing the traumatic past as the name - "The
bad luck temple". Long ago, King Narathu ordered to kill the slaves who

legend, this place was built in 1057 to preserve one of eight hairs of the
Buddha Sakyamuni brought from India. In 30 minutes, Bagan landscape gradually
changes when the red sun slowly lowers from the sky, dyes thousands of towers with violet and cedes
the air for dark. At this point, you
leave Bagan and take the night bus to go to the ancient capital Mandalay.
