40 Breathtaking Places That Have To Be On Everyone’s Bucket List

16. Bagan, Myanmar

Bagan is an ancient city founded sometime during the middle of the ninth century (although it may extend further back to the second century). At its height, this place was home to over 10,000 Buddhist pagodas, temples, and monasteries (via Wikipedia). These days, a little over 2,200 remain. Nevertheless, they are still a fantastic example of the beauty and design ideas. If you do visit, be sure to check out the ‘stupas.’ They are enormous structures that house relics of the Buddhist faith. Some have been housed in these structures for centuries.
