Also known as the Nam Mao (Shan: ၼမ်ႉမၢဝ်း; Tai Nuea: ᥘᥛᥳ ᥛᥣᥝᥰ) in Shan or Dai, and Ruili River or Longchuan River (龙川江) in Chinese, it forms 26 km of the boundary between Burma and China.[2] It is one of the tributaries of the Myanmar's chief river, the Ayeyarwady, and originates in Yunnan Province of China. It flows through northern Shan state and Sagaing Division, and enters the Ayeyarwady at Inywa, 60 kilometres (37 mi) north of Tagaung and south of Katha.
