One
of the most popular sites to visit when you are in Burma is the
archelogical site of Bagan. In the twelfth century many pagodas
where built and the city was named the city of four million pagodas.
Nowadays there are a lot less but still enough. You have a hard
job visiting them all during your stay. Many of the ancient buildings
are being restorated. The restorations make Bagan less beautiful.
A lot of newly build stupas with new bricks are to be seen.Until
recently the concrete used was a modern sort which was quite easily
spotted and did not beautify the old buildings. A lot of asphalt
roads have replaced the old sand roads. |
