Bago, formerly Pegu, is a city and the capital of Bago Division in Burma (or Myanmar). It is located 50 miles (80 km) from Yangon and has a population of 220,000.
According to legend, two Mon princess from Thaton founded Bago in 573 AD. It was written in the chronicles that eight years after enlightenment, Lord Buddha along with his disciples flew around the Southeast Asian countries. On his return journey while crossing the Gulf of Martaban, which happened to be at low tide, he saw two golden sheldrakes sitting, female on top of male, on a peak of land protruding out of the sea just enough for a bird's perch. Viewing this strange phenomenon, he predicted to his disciples that one day a country where his doctrine would thrive would come into existence in this vast sea area. That part of the sea, when it was silted up and ready for habitation approximately 1500 years after the prediction, was colonized by Mons from the Thaton Kingdom. Thus, the Mons became the first rulers of this country known in history as Hongsawatoi (Pali Hamsavati). Other variations on the name include Hanthawaddy, Hanthawady and Handawaddy; and in Thai หงสาวดี Hongsawadi.
The earliest mention of this city in history is by the Arab geographer Ibn Khudadhbin around 850 AD. At the time, the Mon capital had shifted to Thaton. The area came under rule of the Burmese from Bagan in 1056. After the collapse of Bagan to the Mongols in 1287, the Mon regained their independence.
In Lower Burma, a Mon dynasty established itself first at Martaban and then at Pegu. During the reign of king Rajadhirat (13831421) Ava and Pegu were involved in continuous warfare. The peaceful reign of Queen Baña Thau (Burmese: Shin Saw Bu; 1453-72) came to an end when she chose the Buddhist monk Dhammazedi (1472-92) to succeed her. Under Dhammazedi Pegu became a centre of commerce and Theravada Buddhism.
From 1369-1539, Hanthawaddy was the capital of the Mon Kingdom of Ramanadesa, which covered all of what is now Lower Burma. The area came under Burman control again in 1539, when it was annexed by King Tabinshweti to his Kingdom of Taungoo. The kings of Taungoo made Bago their royal capital from 1539-1599 and again in 1613-1634, and used it as a base for repeated invasions of Siam. As a major seaport, the city was frequently visited by Europeans, who commented on its magnificence. The Burmese capital relocated to Ava in 1634. In 1740, the Mon revolted and briefly regained their independence, but Burmese King Alaungpaya (or U Aungzeya) sacked and completely destroyed the city (along with Mon independence) in 1757.
Bago was rebuilt by King Bodawpaya (1782-1819), but by then the river had shifted course, cutting the city off from the sea. It never regained its previous importance. After the Second Anglo-Burmese War, the British annexed Bago in 1852. In 1862, the province of British Burma was formed, and the capital moved to Yangon. The name Bago is spelt peh kou literally. The substantial differences between the colloquial and literary pronunciations, as with Burmese words, was a reason of the British corruption Pegu.
In 1911, Hanthawaddy was described as a district in the Bago (or Pegu) division of Lower Burma. It lay in the home district of Rangoon, from which the town was detached to make a separate district in 1880. It had an area of 3,023 square miles (7,830 km2), with a population of 48,411 in 1901, showing an increase of 22% in the past decade. Hanthawaddy and Henzada were the two most densely populated districts in the province.
Hanthawaddy, as it was constituted in 1911, consisted of a vast plain stretching up from the sea between the To (or China Bakir) mouth of the Ayeyarwady River and the Pegu Yomas. Except the tract of land lying between the Pegu Yomas on the east and the Hlaing river, the country was intersected by numerous tidal creeks; many of which were navigable by large boats and some by steamers. The headquarters of the district was in Rangoon, which was also the sub-divisional headquarters. The second sub-division had its headquarters at Insein, where there were large railway works. Cultivation was almost wholly confined to rice, but there were many vegetable and fruit gardens.
Today, Hanthawaddy may be considered a district of the city of Bago.

Zoological Botanical Garden - Yangon, Myanmar
Yangon known as Burma doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. It’s a city that’s full of character, with so many interesting things to do, see, and eat.
It’s more about just experiencing the city, the life, the culture, the things that happen along the streets and within the nooks and crannies. Yangon is no different, and it’s a wonderful place to walk around on foot and see what there is to see.
This list of attractions doesn’t include everything but I think it’s a mixed-bag list of attractions and offers a good start. You’re bound to discover many things.
P.S : One thing in my bucket list got marked :)

Yangon Street Food ft. Marc & Sa Ba Street Food Tours Part 3 - Chinatown
I love street food and I see it as the gateway to understanding a country’s cultural and culinary identity. As a backpacker, there’s also no better way to get well fed on the cheap than dining on street food! However, whenever I arrive in a new country I have a problem – I don’t know where to find the most authentic street food that’s also safe (food poisoning sucks!). Doesn’t matter how much research I do beforehand, the fact is that nothing beats a local’s knowledge and experience when it comes to street food. I have teamed up with Marc from Sa Ba Street Food Tours in Yangon, who has kindly agreed to take me on his most popular evening street food tour around downtown Yangon and show me (and you) the best street food Myanmar has to offer in this 3 part series!
In Part 3, we end our night in the bustling Chinatown and probably the liveliest part of Yangon at night. A must try in Chinatown is the many BBQ stalls on 19th street, with the steamed whole lemon fish being the star of the show, downed with some refreshing Myanmar Beer. Marc also has me take on the challenge of eating a palm weevil larvae, a chubby and wiggly insect that’s definitely not for the faint-hearted.
Be sure to check out Part 1 and 3 of this Yangon Street Food Tour!

For full disclosure, I only covered the cost of the food and drinks for both of us, which essentially constitutes a discount given the price of the regular tour and the fact that it was basically a private tour rather than the usual group tour. However this has in no way influenced my opinion at all – the tour is totally worth it at full price!
