Being so close to Yangon, you can easily stay at Han Thar Gardens to end your tour of Burma, or begin your tour at a leisurely pace.
Bago, once Pegu, was once a capital of Burma until it was relocated to Ava, outside of present day Mandalay in 1634. The vast Shwemawdaw Pagoda is certainly worth seeing, as too the Shwethalyaung (Reclining) Buddha and the Commonwealth War Grave nearby. You can explore the local villages and markets which will give you a chance to see this pretty rural part of Burma.
