Mulashidi is a town in Putao Township in Kachin State, in far-northern Myanmar. The Nam Lang River flows through Mulashidi.

History

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

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.
