Bagan is north of Yangon and south of Mandalay<br />

along the Irrawaddy River.scattered across the<br />

plain are 2,200 temples,the product of a long wave<br />

of pagoda-building between the 11th and 13th<br />

centuries. Bagan was once a vast kingdom and the<br />

larger temples were built by the Bagan Kings to<br />

show their devotion to Buddhism. Families also<br />

built smaller stupas scattered across the area..<br />

Many have disappeared but It is thought that over<br />

10,000 temples were built.
