Bagan is an important place of living traditions, veneration, and of outstanding vernacular architecture. Capital city of the first Burmese Kingdom, the site is characterized by more than 2500 Buddhist monuments (temples, pagodas, stupas, monasteries, etc.). Thousands of pilgrims come here to venerate these monuments and participate in shaping significant religious and cultural assets with the Myanmar people. Local societies, here, conserve unaltered ancient habits. During the dictatorship that hit the country for over years until the 1990s, Myanmar remained isolated. Since then, with the vagaries of political life, the country slowly opened up to foreign tourism and investment. It is only from 2010, that the military junta gradually decreased the political pressure and thus the population has been discovering the right to speak freely, as well as the contact with foreign televisions, cell phones, Internet and social networks, not to mention the boom in car fleet and the arrival of consumer goods previously unknown. The overwhelming victory of Aung San Suu Kyi's party in the elections of 2015 opened, eventually, the doors of democracy to the country. Nevertheless, the situation of health and education systems must urgently press ahead. Surprisingly, all these disruptions have never tarnished the magic of Myanmar and particularly Bagan. People, here, remain tremendously friendly. Not to mention its natural beauty with an unusual history, which offer exceptional sites such as Bagan, Myanmar, nowadays, host uncontrolled crowds of tourists.
