Wetwin

Wetwin lies on the western edge of the Shan plateau, east of the Irrawaddy plain. The high country around Pyin Oo Lwin rises sharply above the lowlands, with wooded hills and limestone formations. In 1768 Qing forces retreating from their advance towards Ava fought Burmese troops in this mountain country, suffering defeat as they attempted to regain the northern route through the Shan states.

The later city of Mandalay lies here.
