  • Cyclilng is often the best way to visit Bagan but it is a very big place.  However, a horse cart or ox cart is really the perfect way to discover Bagan: it is faster than the bike, you can relax, enjoy the view, take your time to feel the mood of Bagan.  With a small roof there is also some measure of protection from the sun in between temple visits, and can be lots of fun especially if traveling with children.

Even Japan Post is getting into the act, though htey have long used bicycles for this purpose.

  • Sulamani was built in 1181 by Narapatisithu and was known as "crowing jewel" and it stands beyond Dhammayangyi Pagoda. This temple is a more sophisticated temple than the Htilominlo and Gawdawpalin.  Combining the horizontal planes of the early period with the vertical lines of the middle, the temple features two storeys standing on broad terraces assembled to create a pyramid effect. The brickwork throughout is considered some of the best in Bagan. Some part of the temple was damaged during 1975 by the earthquake. Pagodas stand at the corners of each terrace, and a high wall, fitted with elaborate gateways at each cardinal point, encloses the entire complex. The interior face of the wall was once lined with a hundred monastic cells, a feature unique among Bagan's ancient monasteries.

  • Calesa (sometimes spelled kalesa) is a horse drawn carraige in the Philippines. They were introduced to the islands in the 18th century by Spanish colonisers.  Today they are rarely used in the streets except in the tourist areas of old cities and a few rural areas.  The word comes from Spanish.  A kalesa is an inclined cart and drawn by a single horse.  Manila was once teeming with calesas, but these declined in popularity after the Second World War.  Although the calesa has become a rarity, century-old examples are still preserved in areas of the Philippines, such as in Vigan and Intramuros, where they cater to tourists.  Only in Tuguegarao are the carriages a part of the traffic along with cars, tricycles, jeepneys and motorbikes.
