Salween

The Salouen takes its source with the Tibet in Popular republic of China, crosses the Yunnan, province of the South of the old Empire of the medium, where it is called Nu (怒江; pinyin: Nù Jiāng). The river penetrates then with the Myanmar not to leave this country more and is thrown, by a delta, in the Mer of Andaman (more exactly, the Golfe of Martaban) to height of the big city of Moulmein.

Among the large rivers of this area of the world - Mekong, Irrawaddy - which is born on the high plateaus Tibetans and irrigates the Southeast Asia, Salouen is, by far, the least known. The course of the latter, boxed, in difficult mountainous regions of access, navigable only on one hundred kilometers, is not at the origin of large hearths of settlement, except for the zone of the delta.
