Monhyin

The Mohnyin country lies among the wooded hills and valleys west of the upper Irrawaddy. To its northwest, the great lake of Indawgyi occupies a basin surrounded by forested slopes. Streams feed the lake, whose waters escape northward toward the Mogaung River. The region formed part of the country associated with Möng Yang, the Shan principality known in Burmese as Mohnyin.
