Баган был столицей первой бирманской империи в IX-XIII вв., и во второй половине этого периода были построены большинство из тысяч сохранившихся до сих пор храмов, ступ и прочих зданий. Наиболее сильное впечатление производит не конкретные постройки, а их количество на небольшой территории. Поэтому лучший вид на них был бы откуда-нибудь сверху.
Bagan was the capital of the first Burmese empire in the 9th-13th centuries and during the second half of that period the most of the thousands of the remaining temples, stupas and other buildings were constructed. That’s not any certain buildings, but their quantity on a small area is the most impressive thing. Thus the best view would be from the top of something.
