Lying on a bend of the Ayeyarwady River in the central plain of Myanmar, Bagan is a sacred landscape, featuring an exceptional range of Buddhist art and architecture. The seven components of the serial property include numerous temples, stupas, monasteries and places of pilgrimage, as well as archaeological remains, frescoes and sculptures. The property bears spectacular testimony to the peak of Bagan civilization (11th -13th centuries CE), when the site was the capital of a regional empire. This ensemble of monumental architecture reflects the strength of religious devotion of an early Buddhist empire.
蒲甘坐落在蜿蜒流经缅甸中部平原的伊洛瓦底江畔，是一处欣赏佛教艺术和建筑的圣地。该遗址由8个遗产点组成，内有大量寺庙、窣堵坡、修行所、朝圣地以及考古遗迹、壁画和雕塑。遗产地展示了11-12世纪的蒲甘文明，当时的蒲甘是一个地区王国的都城，这里的成片建筑反映这个早期佛教国家的宗教热情。
