Ma-ubin
Maubin (Burmese: မအူပင် [məʔùbɪ̀ɰ̃ mjo̰]) is a town in the Ayeyarwady Division of south-west Myanmar. It is the seat of the Maubin Township in the Maubin District. The population as of 2021 was 51,542. The inhabitants of the town, as well as the district are mainly Bamar and Karen.
During Cyclone Nargis which devastated the Irrawaddy Delta, the Burmese military offered convoys to refugees to Ma-ubin to escape the devastation in the worst-hit areas.
Rice growing and fishing are the major contributors to the economy. It is a developing town with growing transportation and communication services.
The town is linked with Yangon, 40 miles (65 km) east, by the Twante Canal which heads east. The canal opened in 1932 and improved the transporting of goods back and forth from the former capital, then known as Rangoon.
The town was hit by an earthquake in 2023, killing 3 people including 2 nuns. The Mw 4.8 earthquake had an epicenter near the city in Nyaungdon Township.
The predominant religion in the area is Theravada Buddhism and there are many pagodas within Maubin township:
Sein Mya Kantha Zeti pagoda is located on the Sane Mya Kanthar Street just north of the town.
Paw Taw Mu Pagoda, (formally Myo Oo Paw Taw Mu Ceti) is an ancient pagoda situated in the southern part of the town on the Toe River. The old pagoda fell in 2002 following river erosion of the bank but it was rebuilt on 22 May 2005 under government guidance.
