Mawlamyine is the third largest city in Myanmar after Yangon and Mandalay. It is situated 165 kilometers east of the nation's capital across the Gulf of Mottama at the mouth of the Thanlwin (Salween) river. It is the capital of Mon State with a population of almost 300,000 people. Formerly known as Moulmein, it was once a thriving teak port and the administrative capital of British Lower Burma. The Thanlwin bridge, the longest road and rail bridge in Myanmar is the most prominent landmark in the area. It stretches a distance of 11,000 feet over the Thanlwin river connecting the country's south eastern region with its capital, Yangon.
