Bagan
Bagan, a city that once was the capital of the “Kingdom of pagan”, located on the banks of the Ayeyarwady River, home to the largest area of Buddhist temples, stupas, pagodas, and ruins in the world. You can take a hot air balloon ride which is actually the best way to explore the vast architectural ruins nearby. The kingdom fell to the Mongols, actually after refusing to pay tribute to Kublai Khan and Bagan in 1287. It was quickly declined as a political center but continued to flourish as a place of Buddhist lessons.
