Temple of the 12th century. Built by bricks and covered as we were told by white plaster with delicate curvings.Some of them are still remaining and are mastepieces. Inside there are 4 Buddah statues.Love the Bagan architecture. If you are interested visit as many Temples and pagodas you can. There are more than 3.000.

It might be vendor central, but it's still worth stopping here and admiring this beast. Seems like it's in the middle of nowhere (surrounded my many small ones) because it's not in Old Bagan and not near Ananda, etc. If you go before/after the tour buses, you'll have the place mostly to yourself.

hti-Lo-min-Lo temple is the white umbrella temple built by a king who had to choose a successor between 2 sons and received an omen in the form of a white umbrella. This is on the road near upalithein so worth a quick stop but otherwise not that interesting.

Virtually our first temple in Bagan and very impressive. Lots of locals, as there was a big festival at Shwezigon in Nyaung Oo. Very old temple with lots of lacquerware, painting and postcard sellers.

The big Buddah is cool and chasing kidsaround the inner passage fun. The Padaung ladies charging tourists to take photos was just wrong all round. Good luck to the ladies to earn some Kyat but what is up with European Tourists who think this kind of ethnic tourism is ethical!

Just as the guide book says, best from the outside. A really impressive image that is worth stopping for. But there is relatively little to detain you inside.

Another white temple. This is one of the bigger ones too. What can I say that I haven't already said about all the other temples - in the end, they are all the same hence what I say here is also the same. Just another temple photo - if I don't subtitle them right away, I will forget as they... More
