Crowded and dusty in the evening but great wiews to the west in sunset. Climbig to 4. or 5. floor is difficult.

Bagan has so many temples and pagodas it is hard to differentiate one from the other at times. However this is certainly a different type of pagoda as it seems to be built in Sri Lankan style of architecture. The most important difference is however that it is a pentagonal rather than a square pagoda. Instead of the usual 4... More

Dhammayazika Pagoda is beautiful in a way that it is glowing with red and gold color. You can climb up the pagoda to see the view of Bagan plain. Eventhough I went there at daytime, the view is stunning. It'd be better with the sunset though. Worth a visit indeed :)

Most guides (both tourguides and books) don't sponsor this site enough for sunset-watching, but it's stunning. It's less crowded than other spots, and it's only partly gilded, showing a lot of the red resin they coat Stupas with. This makes it glow in the sunset light in an enticing way. A must see.

To the untrained eye this resembles an enormous gold and pink bell. The Buddha shrines are not that exciting but the setting of the temple is exquisite, it's pentagonal views appealingly originally and the views it offers really good. Might even be an unconventional pick for sunset.

This pagoda was recommended by my horse-cart driver as uncrowded and affording a good view of the countryside at dusk. He was right. It was a pleasant ride there and then a splendid view of the countryside from the top terrace, shared by just a few other tourists, as the sun went down.

Oh, the view from here is just priceless. We climbed and sat for a while to meditate. Soak in all the view from the tops of the trees and the temples that surround us 360 degrees. This is in New Bagan.

It's a beautiful temple, not too difficult to climb to where you can have a good vantage point for the temples of Bagan

This is a massive temple, high arched ceilings and an imposing structure. You can't go to the upper levels and its almost more impressive from outside than inside.
