Formerly known as Pegu, Bago, a 2-hr diver and 80km to the north west of Yangon, was the capital of the Mon Kingdom of Lower Myanmar in the 15th century. Sightseeing in Bago includes the beautiful 55-meter long reclining Buddha, Shwethalyaung and the Mon style Shwemawdaw Pagoda, one of the most venerated in Myanmar. Its spire stands 114m high and is even taller than the Shwedagon Pagoda. Visit also the old Palace "Kambozathadi" and the huge 4 sitting Buddha's "Kyaikpun". End the tour of Bago with a walk around the colourful Bago Market. On the way back to Yangon, visit the Allied War Cemetery near Htaukkyan, the final resting place for over 27,000 allied soldiers.
