The Bago River (Burmese: ပဲခူးမြစ်; Pegu River) is a river in southern Myanmar which flows through Bago and Yangon, joining the Yangon River south of downtown Yangon.[1]
History
In 1608, after his theft of the Great Bell of Dhammazedi from the Shwedagon Pagoda, the Portuguese explorer Filipe de Brito e Nicote attempted to transport the bell on a raft across the Bago River. However, the raft broke up due to the load's weight and bell sunk to the bottom of the river, where it remains lost to this day.[1]
In 1725, the members of the Zhang Wei Union sailed along the Bago River on their flagship Fenghuang to reach Yangon and retrieve a Piece of Eden housed within the Shwedagon Pagoda.[2]
