Mulashidi is a town in Putao Township in Kachin State, in far-northern Myanmar. The Nam Lang River flows through Mulashidi.[1]
History
[edit]During the Chinese Civil War, Mao's advances prompted an American missionary, J. Russell Morse, to flee from Yunnan Province to Myanmar, which was then a British colony. He founded a Church of Christ mission at Mulashidi with several thousand parishioners.
Points of interest
[edit]Mulashidi is home to the Malikha Lodge, a luxury resort designed by Belgian architect Jean-Michel Gathy. The ruins of Morse's mission can still be visited as well.[2]
