It serves as the capital of Bago Region and is known for its rich history and cultural significance. The city is characterized by its historical sites, including ancient pagodas and temples that date back to the Mon Kingdom.
One of the major attractions in Bago is the Shwethalyaung Pagoda, which houses a large reclining Buddha statue measuring over 55 meters long.
