Borders
Yesagyo is the easternmost township of Magway Region. The Chindwin River and then the Irradwaddy form the eastern boundary of the township except for a small area on the eastern side of the Chindwin directly across from the town of Yesagyo,[2] which area was formerly an island in the Chindwin.[3] Yesagyo Township is bounded by the following townships:[4]
- Salingyi Township, Sagaing region, to the north;
- Chaung-U Township and Myaung Township of Sagaing Region, to the northeast;
- Myingyan Township and Taungtha Township of Mandalay Region to the southeast;
- Pakokku Township to the southwest; and
- Myaing Township to the west.
Sights
The wooden Pakhangyi Monastery on brick foundations was constructed by King Mindon in 1886 and restored in 1992.[5] In 1992 the Pakhangyi Archaeological Museum was opened there. In 1996 Burma applied for World Heritage Site status for the site.[6]
