Bagan is full of attractions and landmarks you can’t finish in one or two days. Let me inform you about the most famous ones.
The Ananda Temple: has the greatest architecture.
The Dhammayangyi: is the most massive temple.
The Thatbyinnyu: is the highest temple in Bagan.
They are temples that are famous for their significances.

Bu Paya - its name comes from its gourd-like shape and one of three pagodas located at the side of the river.

You can visit the above places with bicycles, horse carts but I recommend riding your own E-bike so you can go everywhere you want. The fees will be between 6000MMK-8000MMK for one day.
LawKa Nandar - a stupa with Buddha relic inside, located at New Bagan besides the Ayeyarwady river. You can see also see sunset view.
