Brick and stucco was used to build the temple. The bricks came from outside of Bagan and were sent via the Irrawaddy River. There are stamps for each area on the brick.
The Ananda Temple is one of the biggest and most famous in Bagan. The shape is very symmetrical, the outer walls are painted white, and the spire is gold plated. Visitors can explore this area using bicycles. If you have more budget, you can rent an electric bicycle.
Watching the sun set over the Irrawaddy River is another precious moment. Stunning views are always to be expected.

Usually tourists start balloon rides in Bagan in the early morning or before sunrise.
The panoramic sunrise in the morning becomes an attractive tourist attraction for tourists on a balloon. If the weather is sunny, the scattered temples seem to rise high among the trees and other buildings.
This view makes tourists seem to go through time to the past. It's like seeing those temples in their heyday long ago.
