Myede

Myede lies on the east bank of the Irrawaddy, north of Prome. The river carries water and travellers between the dry central plain and the lower reaches of Burma, while wooded country stretches east towards the Pegu Yoma. The settlement was known as Myede before acquiring the name Aunglan. Its position on the river placed it among the towns linking the old royal centres of Upper Burma with Prome and the delta downstream.
