P.S.: Between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains alone, of which the remains of over 2,200 temples and pagodas still survive to the present day.
Located in an active earthquake zone, Bagan has suffered from many earthquakes over the ages, with over 400 recorded earthquakes between 1904 and 1975 and a recent one in August 2016.
