Interesting facts about this location
Twante Canal
The Twante Canal is a canal that connects the Irrawaddy River and the Yangon river in Myanmar. The 35 km canal is a heavily used short cut between the city of Yangon and the Irrawaddy Division. The canal is named after the town of Twante, located near the canal's mid-way point. The canal was the quickest route from Yangon to the Irrawaddy Delta until the 1990s when roads between Yangon and the Irrawaddy Division became usable year round. The canal is still heavily used.
