Mingin

Mingin stands on the right bank of the Chindwin River in western Burma. Here the river turns through a broad bend among wooded hills before continuing south towards the Irrawaddy. Upstream, the Myittha joins the Chindwin at Kalewa after flowing out of the Chin country. The river valley narrows in places where forested slopes descend to the water, while strips of level land along the banks provide room for settlements and cultivation.
