Culture & Traditions
Bago Region sits on the lowland corridor between Yangon and the Ayeyarwady delta, threaded with river trade routes and some of Lower Myanmar's oldest Buddhist capitals. The city of Bago (Pegu) was a major Mon and later Toungoo-era capital; its reclining Buddha and Shwemawdaw Pagoda remain major pilgrimage stops.
