## Myanmar

![Mrauk-U is a relatively small town in northwestern Myanmar that has plenty to offer for travelers. Just like in Bagan there are lots of old temples and stupas around and one can easily spend a few days here without getting bored. It's pleasantly uncrowded and authentic.

The easiest way to get there is probably to take a bus from Bagan to Magwe (6h) and change there for an overnight bus to Mrauk-U (14h). It can be a cold and dusty experience but that's just part of what makes that place so great if you ask me.

If you're a photographer you'll love it! There are several viewpoint in the area from where one can spot some very magical sunrises and sunsets. #goldenhour](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6341177/5194686b-fa57-422b-9781-b0aba89d9dd9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
