Bago Tourist Information
Bago
Ancient port and capital, Bago boasts the most beautiful statue of the reclining Shwethalyaung Buddha (55 m long and 16 meters high). A visit to Bago imposes itself if one travels by car to Kyaik-tiyo or overland to the North and is recommended to those findings themselves with not enough time to enjoy the sights of Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake.
From Yangon by road, to the ancient capital of Bago, is just 50 miles. Visits include: Shwemawdaw Pagoda (its golden dome inlaid with diamonds dominates the countryside) and the gigantic Shwethalyaung Buddha (dating back to 994 and considered the most beautiful reclining Buddha statue in Myanmar). Next is the Kalyani Sima Ordination Hall, the Mahazedi Pagoda and the local market.
