Mawlamyine is the capital of Mon State in Myanmar, located at the mouth of the Salween River in the southeastern part of the country, and is the third largest city and an important port in Myanmar. Historically the capital of British Burma, the city is characterized by a blend of European architecture and traditional Burmese styles left over from the colonial period. The city is surrounded by mountains and the sea, with a long coastline, and is well developed in fishing and teak trade. As a town of Buddhist culture, it is home to many ancient pagodas, including the Mahamuni Pagoda, which is one of the holy sites of Buddhism in Myanmar, attracting both domestic and foreign believers. Mawlamyine is also the gateway to the Mergui archipelago, and is an ideal starting point for exploring the culture of southeastern Myanmar, with its combination of natural beauty and cultural heritage.
