Cross flow Salween river

With an approximate length of 2,400 km, the mighty Salween River is one of the longest rivers in the region. It is an international river, originating from Tangula Mountain of the Himalayas in the Tibetan plateau. The Salween then flows southward through Yunnan Province of China, down through Shan and Kayah States in the East of Burma (Myanmar), and along the Thai-Burma border, passing through Kayan and Mon States (Burma), and emptying near Mawlamyine (Moulmein) into the Gulf of Martaban in the Andaman Sea. Burmese name of the river is the "Thanlwin river".
