070004-8 Five thousand temples stud Pagan, Burma's golden-age capital by the Irrawaddy. Rising Frescoes, still bright two centuries after repainting, decorate the Ordination Hall in old Pagan. This scene shows Gautama Buddha with his followers. one of many portrayals of the holy man's life that cover walls and ceiling of the 13th-century shrine. 198 . in the 11th century, the city flourished until Kublai Khan's armies captured it in 1287 From Chauk, I crossed the river to Lanywa airport, beside another forest of oil derricks. There I caught a plane to Rangoon, where I headed down the long kite-tail Tenasserim coast to Moulmein, Tavoy, and Mergui. In Moulmein, nostalgia lingers for the days when the town was a busy British port But the view from its "Ridge," atop which stands the old Moulmein Pagoda, is as fine as ever. In one direction lie the city and the Salween River; in the other spread rice plains from which rise limestone crags, eerie as the pre- cipitous rocks in Chinese paintings. Farther south, near Tavoy and Mergui, rich tin mines produce approximately a third of Burma's 1,500-ton yearly output. I watched hydraulic jets rip away steep slopes to uncover the tiny grains of ore in the red earth (page 196). And I wondered how Bur- ma, independent for 15 years, will fare in the years to come. From its southern tip to its mountainous north squeezed between India and China, Burma is a long land, a rich land. Given peace, it can indeed become the pleasant land its gentle people yearn for.
