China–Myanmar border

The China–Myanmar border is the international border that limits the territory of the People's Republic of China and Myanmar (formerly Burma). The border begins at Hkakabo Razi (5881 m), the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, passing through the mountain ranges of Jigongshan and Jiangaosh (3302 m). It continues through mountainous areas and a small northern section of the Mekong River, before ending at the border with Laos.
