Saw

Saw lies in the southern part of the Yaw country of western Burma. The region occupies valleys between the Chin Hills to the west and the Pondaung hills to the east, where streams descend through forested slopes. Villages are scattered along the valleys and the roads leading between the Irrawaddy plain and the uplands. The mountains give the Yaw country a distinct setting apart from the broad, dry plains farther east.
