Less than half a days drive from Yangon, Mon State is famous for the amazing “Golden Rock” of Kyaikto, The capital of Mon State Mawlamyine is a leafy and well preserved tropical port and has changed little from the days that saw it rise to a prosperous trading town under colonial rule. Not far away lies a stretch of the infamous “death railway” and the moving Thanphyuzayet cemetery, which contains the graves of nearly 4000 allied POWs who died during its construction.
