Burmese people waiting train and selling product at railway station in Bago, Myanmar. Bago formerly Pegu, is a city and the capital of Bago Region in Myanmar (Burma). It is located 50 miles (80 km) north-east of Yangon. Bago (formerly Pegu) is the capital city of Bago Division in the Irrawaddy region of Myanmar. On the main road between North and South Myanmar, this is a highly noisy and trafficked town. From Yangon, leave in the morning by taxi (US$40-50), or by bus (from the corner of Strand and Sule Pagoda Road and also from the Aung Mingalar Bus Terminal), or by train (US$4 upper class, US$1 for ordinary seat, all Mandalay and Mawlamyine bound trains stop there). A taxi is the best because you'll need one to see the sights in Bago (which are quite far apart) and you can stop at Taukkyan on the way. A paddy field is a flooded parcel of arable land used for growing semiaquatic rice. Paddy cultivation should not be confused with cultivation of deep water rice, which is grown in flooded conditions with water more than 50 cm (20 in) deep for at least a month.
