The most beautiful building in Bagan~ Ananda Temple
Ananda Temple is known as the most beautiful building in Bagan. It is indeed well-deserved. The peers of the same company said that it is quite a bit of a trip to Europe. The entire temple is square and covers an area of nearly 100 acres. The center of the yard is the Ananda Tower, which is an Indian-style square big Buddha cave. It stands above the tower with a tower more than 70 meters high. It is very tall and magnificent. There is a door in the southeast and northwest. There is a statue of Buddha who is about ten meters high. The handprints are different and the treasures are solemn.

The white Ananda Temple is beautiful with a magical power. Ananda Temple is located on the east side of the ancient city wall of the old Bagan. The name of the temple comes from the Buddhas savvy disciple who heard the first Ananda. It is the first big temple in Bagan and the most elegant and beautiful Buddhist building to this day. So in the three days in Bagan, I will always pass through here at a certain moment, staying in the deep corridor.
The proportion of the building itself is perfect, and the white exterior makes her very different from other temples in Bagan. The temple is enshrined with four large Buddha statues carved in teak. Each of the four positions in the temple has a standing Buddha, 9.5 meters high. The two north and south are left over from the original, while the two things are damaged by the fire and then rebuilt in the 18th century.
The Buddha statue in the south is the most special. She will show different expressions when she looks far and near. When you look at the Buddha statue from afar, the Big Buddha laughs very kindly and embarrassedly, but when you walk to the foot of the Big Buddha and look up again, the Fa has become solemn and very sorrowful. We are also very good at the coexistence of sadness and joy. Walking around the temple's periphery, the tiles shimmered with golden light, and the beautiful temple spires made me forget the pain of barefoot on the hot tiles.

Ananda Temple is the most beautiful and famous temple in Bagan. It is elegant and beautiful in white and has traces of years.
Riding a small sheep in Bagan every day, this golden-top temple is the most dazzling. The Burmese pilgrims who arrived not far away will take a fresh bouquet and worship. I prefer this way of worship. There is no fog of flying smoke, only sincerity and flowers that bloom brightly.
Myanmar Buddhism is different from our Buddhism, and the smoke-free environment makes worship more comfortable. Moreover, the shape of each temple is not. In addition to being produced, walking between the stupas, I am also amazed at the local temple architecture art. The top of Ananda Temple is golden yellow, and the top below is white, combining the two colors.
Ananda Temple is large in size and has large Buddhas on all sides. The passages are relatively dark, but these holes are good shooting points.
Ananda Temple is one of the most popular temples for local tourists. The entrance ticket needs to be checked, which is stamped in the pass to Bagan. There are a lot of small vendors on the outside, so it is difficult to shoot a whole in the distance.

It is said that it is the most beautiful temple in Bagan. I don't agree with it very much. It feels more luxurious and lacks in connotation. Ananda Temple was built in 1105 AD and was built by King Kyanzittha of the Pagan Dynasty. The whole temple is square. There are four golden Buddha statues in the temple, facing east, west, south and north. Directions.
Ananda Temple is located in the ancient city of Bagan. It was built during the reign of King Jiang Xituo in 1105 AD. It is the most elegant and beautiful Buddhist pagoda in existence. The Ananda Pagoda is a square with a length of 53 meters on each side. The building above is terraced to the top of the tower. The main tower is 51 meters high. The top of the minaret with gold leaf was completed in 1991. The tower base and terrace are decorated with 1,304 glazed tiles, depicting scenes of the life of the Buddha. The main tower is surrounded by supporting buildings such as various small towers, pools, Buddha statues and various animal statues. Four standing Buddhas with a height of 9.5 meters are located in four directions in the hall of the temple, representing the four Buddhas who have been in Nirvana. Only two Buddha statues facing north and south are the original remains, and the other two Buddha statues were destroyed by fire as substitutes.
Ananda Temple is the most representative and symmetrical temple in Bagan. It was built by the order of King Jiang Xituo in 1090. When I went there, it was still under maintenance. Many wooden frames were built. The temple is quite large and there are many tourists. It is worth a visit. In the evening, you can take some golden light from the sunset.
The most exquisite pagoda on the land of Bagan, the standing Buddha inside is unparalleled, and the surrounding restaurants are good. This stupa is named after Ananda, a disciple of Buddha Shakyamuni. It was built in 1090 by King Jiang Xituo, the son of King Anuruta, and has a history of nearly a thousand years. The night view of Ananda Tower is also very beautiful.
