Kyainseikgyi

Kyainseikgyi lies among the hills and river valleys of southeastern Burma, east of the Salween. Streams from the Dawna Range feed the Haungtharaw and other tributaries flowing towards the Gyaing. Forested slopes separate the valley settlements from the coast around Martaban, while the rivers continue westward to the Salween and the sea. This is a region of Karen and Mon communities, between the inland mountains and the old maritime centres of Lower Burma.
