What to see:

The Shwe-Maw-Daw Pagoda:

Was originally build by the Mon to a height to 23 meters in the 8^th century and was rebuilt higher several times until it finally reached its present 114 meter stature in 1954. Visitors can see in the Pagoda Museum a number of ancient Buddha images of stone and bronze found in the damaged top part of the pagoda after the earthquakes.

Shwe-Tha-Lyaung:

Is the large reclining image of the Buddha, 180 feet in length and 52.5 feet in height. This is one of the largest reclining Buddha images in the world. Traditionally, it was believed to have been built by King Migadipa in AD 944. It was restored by Ramadhipatiraja (1472-1492) but later `lost’. Rediscovered in 1880 and restored again several times to bring it to this condition.

Hintakone Pagoda:

Tradition has it that Hinthakone is the hill where the two sacred mythical ducks called nintha(Hamsa) alighted, when only the very top of the hill was above the ocean. The name Hantha-wadi or Hamsavati by which Bago and her kingdom were known, originated from this name. It has good views over Bago from the hill top.
