While on top of the tourist filled pagoda, waiting for sunset to hit, we got bored and decided to check out another nearby empty pagoda, thinking we could get back in time for sunset. Once inside, we found a tiny staircase that lead to this huge open window. It was at this precise moment the sun started to set and all of Bagan lit of up in a gorgeous purple hue. We ended up missing the sunset on top where everyone else was, but we found our own secret window into this magical ancient city.
