Pa-daung.– Township in Prome District, Pegu Division, Lower Burma, occupying the whole of the right bank of the Irawadi (Irrawaddy) from Tharet-myo on the north to Henzada on the south, and stretching westward to the Arakan Yoma range.

Along the bank of the Irawadi, for about a mile inland, the country is level, and under rice; west of this it begins to undulate, but the undulations soon pass into hills, and the whole west of the township to the Arakan Yomas is a succession of denselywooded spurs and mountain torrents.

The principal rivers are--the Tha-ni, with its tributaries the Bu-ro and Kyauk-bu; the Thu-le-dan; and the Ka-wa. The mineral products of Pa-daung are earth-oil and limestone.
