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 cannot visit
them all during a 28 day stay. Many of the ancient buildings are
being restaurated. The restaurationsmake Bagan less beautiful. A
lot of newly build stupas with new bricks are to be seen.Until recently
the cement used was a modern sort which was ouite easily spotted
and did not beautify the old buildings. A lot of asphalt roads have
replaced the old sand roads. |
