Bagan, the ancient capital of Myanmar, has some of the most impressive archaeological sites in Southeast Asia and as a result is a major tourist destination in the country. The origins of Bagan date back to 849 AD, when settlements were established on the banks of the Irrawaddy River around 300 miles north of Yangon.
If you get the chance to watch chinglone, the national game, being played, it's a great opportunity to see the locals in action. Chinglone is similar to takraw in Thailand, with the object of the game to keep a cane ball in the air using only your knees and feet. There are six players in a team and you'll find people playing in any available space in the city at the end of the day. If you want to watch an official competition, then your hotel should be able to assist you.
Ananda Festival: during the full moon in December or January thousands of Burmese monks gather with locals and celebrate for three days at the Ananda Pagoda in Bagan. Entertainment includes dance, theatre and singing as well as stand up comedy.
Nyaung-U's sightseeing options are dominated by the wealth of pagodas and temples. Shwezigon Paya is considered the most important, and local legend says that some of the Buddha's bones and a tooth are preserved inside. Thatbyinnyu is the highest temple in Bagan and features an impressive Buddha statue.
The easiest and most comfortable way to get around Bagan is by hire car. An air-conditioned car is recommended for travel in the hot and dusty afternoons. Cars with drivers are also available, and you should be able to negotiate a reasonable price with the driver. Your hotel should be able to assist you with any arrangements. You can also arrange for a car to take you farther a field to Mount Popa, Mandalay or even Yangon.
All visitors to Myanmar need to have a passport and tourist visa, as well as a return or onward ticket. Tourist visas are valid for two months from the date of issue. If you are travelling on business, you can get a business visa which will allow a stay of up to 10 weeks in Myanmar.
