Bago


Located 80 kilometers Northeast of Yangon, near Bago River, Bago is an ancient capital of Myanmar, appearing to be a land of myth and legend. At a height of 115 meters, the Shwe Mawdaw Pagoda or Golden God Temple here holds the record for the tallest pagoda in the country. Along with Shwemawdaw, a number of the other large and small pagodas contributes to the well-known abundance of Bago’s religion. Besides, the activities of the morning market near the river and cycling around Stupas and Buddhas make the itinerary worth trying once in Myanmar tourism.
