Myanmar, as the title of this post states, is the land of golden pagodas.  And yes, you are correct in guessing that means Myanmar is filled with pagodas.  During its golden age around the 11th-13th century, its kings built massive amounts of beautiful temples and pagodas.

The first temples to be built was in Bagan.  It is one of the cities that we will be visiting while in Myanmar.  If you are interested, here is a title of a documentary about Bagan and its beautiful temples: Bagan – The Land Of Pagodas

The landmarks we will be visiting in Bagan will be:

• Anada Temple – one of the four remaining temples in Bagan
• Shwezigone Pagoda – one of the most famous pagodas, containing strands of Buddha’s hair
