Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Paged
Shwemawdaw Pagoda
Shwemawdaw is a large stupa that dominates the landscape of Bago. Its religious importance and silhouette constitute a landmark of the city; access depends on the instructions and local situation.
Temple
Shwethalyaung Buddha
Shwethalyaung houses a large reclining Buddha. This is a place of devotion; respect dress rules and reserved areas whenever access is authorised.
Paged
Kyaik Pun Pagoda
Kyaik Pun is known for his four great representations of the Buddha arranged around a central nucleus. This composition must be observed without approaching the forbidden or weakened parts.
Palace
Kanbawzathadi Palace
Kanbawzathadi presents reconstructions related to the former Royal Palace of Bago. It is not an ancient palace that remains intact; accessible spaces and presentations must be checked.
