Local and foreign travellers are back in Bagan, possibly to enjoy the sunset views atop ancient pagodas. “Being a concentration site of cultural heritage of Myanmar, the domestic and foreign visitors visit Bagan in every season. The foreigners especially show their strong interest in Myanmar’s culture and natural beauty. The visitors watch the sunset from Nyaung Laphak Lake and Sulamani viewpoints. Most of the local travellers watch from the Buu Pagoda this season. The beauty of Bagan always leaves a strong impression on both local and foreign travellers, no matter the season or time. That’s why people who have visited before often come back again, and it is a unique sign of Bagan,” said an official of the Directorate of Hotels and Tourism (Bagan).
The visitors can enjoy the sunset and the beauty of the Ayeyawady river, Tant Kyi Taung (Taung = mountain in Burmese) and Tu Yin Taung from four viewpoints, two mounds, Nan Myint Tower and from other pagodas. The maintenance works are being conducted to ensure the sustainability of Bagan pagodas, and the authorities banned visitors from climbing the pagoda after the 2016 earthquake.
Neither the heavy rains during the raining season nor recent PDF attacks and kidnapping in villages and wards within Nyaung Oo township has dampened the mood of the visitors to visit #1 tourist spot of Myanmar.
