From twilight to dusk, the setting sun on the horizon throwing its last fling of glow over the temples, stupas and pagodas is indeed a splendid and unique spectacle that could take your breath away.
Pagan is the most important architectural complex in Myanmar.
It is here in Pagan that the Buddhist religion took deep root, strengthening and broadening the outlook of the whole of society. It is here in Pagan that art and architecture attained a peak of achievement, creating a treasured and enduring heritage for the people. It is also in Bagan that such architectural concepts as organic architecture, the articulation of components, the balancing of horizontality and verticality, the massing of structures, the dramatizing of lighting effects, the creation of monumental and intimate spaces, the enhancement of space with decorative motifs can be seen, and where honesty of structural expression has an unsurpassed definition. The climate of Pagan is tropical and is generally classified as hot and dry throughout the year. But the seasons can vary drastically.
