Moulmein Harbor
Moulmein,
a captivating city in Myanmar's Mon State, sits at the convergence of the
Salween, Gyaing, and Ataran rivers. Once the capital of British Burma, the city
retains a colonial charm reflected in its architecture. Rudyard
Kipling's famous poem "Mandalay" was inspired by his time here.
Explore the iconic Santawshin Pagoda, perched on a hill and offering panoramic views. Marvel at the world's
largest reclining Buddha statues at Win Sein Taw Ya. Immerse yourself in history at Kyaikthanlan Pagoda and the Death Railway Museum. Discover the balanced boulders and serene ambiance of Nwa La Bo Pagoda. Admire the colonial
grandeur of St. Matthew's Church.
For shopping, head to Ocean Supercenter, the city's largest mall. Escape the city for natural beauty at Zin Kyaik Waterfall or Kyauktalon Taung Hillock. Explore the Gaung Se Kyun island for its Buddhist
statues and shrines. While Moulmein's nightlife is relatively quiet, enjoy
evenings at local teahouses and riverside restaurants.
