China–Myanmar borders

The China–Myanmar border is the international border between the territory of the People’s Republic of China and Myanmar (formerly Burma). The border is 2,129 km (1,323 mi) in length and run from the tripoint with India in the north to the tripoint with Laos in the south.

Description
The border begins in the north at the tripoint with India near just north of the Diphu Pass[a] and then runs briefly to north-east, across the Nanmi Pass and Hkakabo Razi (5881 m), the highest mountain in Southeast Asia. It then turns to the south-east, running broadly southwards and then south-westwards across the Hengduan and Gaoligong Mountains via a series of irregular lines. In the vicinity of Ruili the border briefly utilises parts of the Taping and Nanwan rivers, before turning south-east to join the Shweli River, which it utilises for a period towards the north-east. The border then continues through mountainous terrain in a broadly (though often convoluted) south-eastwards direction, occasionally utilising rivers (such as the Nanding and Nam Hka) for short stretches, before turning to the east in the southern stretch up to the Mekong river, and then utilising that river down to the tripoint with Laos.
