Along the Salween River

The Salween River is one of the rivers in the Three Parallel Rivers area in South China. Is about 2,800 kilometers long and has a drainage area of 324,000 square kilometers. It flows from the Tibetan plateau to Myanmar and Thailand and is called Nujiang (怒江) in Chinese, Thanlwin in Burmese and Salawin in Thai.

This article is an itinerary.

Understand

The Salween's source is in the Tanggula Mountains, Tibet Autonomous Region. It flows across the Tibet and Yunnan, where it parallels the Chinese border with northeastern Myanmar. Further downstream, it forms the Myanmar-Thailand boundary for about 120 kilometres (75 mi). In Thailand, it flows across Salween National Park and again enters Myanmar. It finally empties into the Andaman Sea at Moulmein.

gollark: Well, Braxatiel (I probably misspelt it…) did, actually.EDIT: did = did find the data
gollark: <@422448701588504577> Oh cool! I mostly worked off archive.org and convenient HTML comments.
gollark: The worst thing about TJ09 is the utter lack of communication.
gollark: - EATW was according to everyone taken down due to the viewbombing.- I used archived EATW data to prevent sickness/viewbombing in my hatchery.- TJ09 eventually noticed and IP-banned my hatchery so it stopped working and took all the eggs out automatically (that is a *slight* bug).- The email I got said *… did the same thing that got EATW banned from the API".- But presumably it just shut down due to viewbombing and not lack of API access…?
gollark: Wow, that's quite TJ09…
