You can find thousands of Buddha statues in Bago, a historical location situated some 80 kilometres north of Yangon, Myanmar. Formerly known as Pegu, Bago was founded by the Mon in 573 AD but its days as a major river-port town declined as the river changed course. The Burmese king Alaungpaya destroyed the town in 1757 but left the religious buildings intact.
