MYANMAR ,Burma - Old-Bagan, Sonnenuntergang mit Blick von der imposanten Shwesandaw-Pagode(Tempel)
MYANMAR, Burma - Old-Bagan, at sunset on the Shwesandaw Pagoda,
Totally overcrowded at sunset.
The step pyramid has five square terraces, then two octagonal intermediate steps and finally the classic cylindrical stupa structure with bell, turban, double lotus, banana bud and hti. Stairs lead up to the fifth terrace on the four sides. They used to serve the faithful so that they could reach the terracotta slabs with scenes from the Jatakas on the individual terraces, which have since disappeared; nowadays tourists go up to admire the sunset.
So do we, of course.
