Hot Air Balloons over Temples in Old Bagan, Mandalay, Myanmar


Mist and mystery shroud this town of temples, the capital of the ancient Bagan Kingdom between the 11th and 13th centuries. The archaeological site sits on a bend of the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar’s central plain, and it’s an incredible, museum-worthy collection of golden temples, monasteries and sculptures. The view is even more spectacular when hot air balloons drift over the ornate landscape at sunrise.
