Bagan

Allegedly millions of temples were built by the 12th century rulers of Bagan. Today, 3,200 remain. Yes, think about that - 3,200! Everywhere you look, there is a temple, a pagoda, a stupa - some white, some red, some gold. I climbed one temple for a sunset view. The vista was mesmerizing - one of the most fascinating things I've seen so far - my eyes swept across an endless expanse of ancient buildings so numerous they seemed like waves on the ocean.
