its doors to the outside world, the Road To

Myanmar, Land of
Rivers
| |
|
The
Irrawaddy River is the life-line of Myanmar that
flows almost down the very centre of the country
for 2000 km. It feeds the farmlands of the dry
central zone and allows easy transportation of
goods up and down the country. The
Irrawaddy passes through spectacular landscapes
especially the Second Defile just before it
reaches the old trading post of Bhamo. A steep
cliff looms over the river like a sentinel as it
curves around its base. The Third Defile begins
near Thabaik-kyin, an ancient landing place to
travel inland through jungles to the renowned
ruby mines of Mogok. Click
