The Valley of 2,000 Temples

Once an epicenter for the kingdom of Pagan, this valley is now a majestic, ancient city in the heart of Myanmar. The Bagan archaeological zone was once home to over 10,000 temples built by past leaders of the ancient kingdom. Due to Mongol invasions and earthquakes, only 2,000 remain in the valley. With ongoing restoration efforts, the temples are periodically worked on to prevent any further deterioration.
