Lewe

Lewe lies in the upper Sittaung basin, between the dry plains of central Burma and the hills to the east. Local tradition traces the settlement to a small hill known by an older name, Nga Ngwe Gon. Streams from the surrounding hills flow towards the Sittaung, whose valley runs south past Taungoo. Fields and villages occupy the broad lowlands between the wooded ridges of the Pegu Yoma and the eastern highlands.
