Dhammayan Gyi Temple, Bagan

Biggest temple in old Bagan, free entrance ticket, good to spend time here, but we can't climb to temple to see sunset and sunrise anymore!

One of the big temples of Bagan - must see. Big walls surround the temple, and gates from four sides. The temple itself is massive - and very well laid out in terms of concentric structures. On a sunny day you can have a nice view of the surrounding area - there are a couple of vantage points near the rear of the temple area for good photos.

My stay in Bagan included visits to a large number of temples, many of which are more than 800 years old. One such temple is Dhammayan Gyi. It dates back to the second half of the twelfth century. Situated in a field with unobstructed views, it is one of the larger and more impressive temples in the city. A walk around the outer walls of the temple netted me a number of impressive perspectives. The sheer size of the structure and the intricate brickwork set this temple apart. This is not a building that you will rush through. It requires and deserves your full attention. It got mine.

Impressive scale and setting. Throughout areas of Bagan, the trails can be occupied with shepards tending their roaming flocks. A rare moment captured with surreal sunlight slicing through the dust clouds as they advance forward.

This is the biggest and the most beautiful temple in bagan . Most of the tourist come here to see sunset and sunrise as it's near to the sunset point . You can see lot's of balloon in the morning . You can drive your car here . Huge parking and nice place to chill.
