Myanmar Tour - Heritage Travels & Tours

Bago which is 47 miles north of Yangon can be visited by rail or road. The journey takes the visitor through an undulating countryside dotted with rice fields and villages of various sizes. The houses built of bamboo fences and thorny wickerwork as a protection against thieves and wild animals, and screened by huge tamarind and palm trees against the sun, wind and rain.
Bago was once a great city and the capital of Lower Burma in the days when the Mon Dynasty stretched across from Lower Burma to Thailand and Cambodia. It was founded in 573 A.D and in the 16th and 17th century and was visited by a number of European travelers who recorded it as an important seaport and mentioned about the magnificence of the receptions that were given. However, its days of greatness were past with the changing of the river course which deprived it of its sea trade.
