Where is original old moulmein pagoda of Kipling's poem located?

Answer 1

It is located in what is now Myanmar and can be visited. The name for the city is actually Mawlamyine (which was probably inconveniently difficult for English speakers), a smallish city in the South East part of Myanmar in the Karan State.

The Pagoda sits at the highest point in the city but is rather unspectacular compared to the others in Myanmar and, irrespective of the Kipling poem, doesn't look East over the sea but west over the Andaman Sea. The China Sea is east but about 300 miles across Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam at its narrowest.

Answer 2

The original Moulmein Pagoda referenced in Rudyard Kipling's poem "Mandalay" is located in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). It is situated in the city of Mawlamyine, which was known as Moulmein during British colonial times.
