The Telegraph describes the Mekong River as follows: “Some of the world's most exotic and fascinating destinations are touched by the Mekong, which rises in the Tibetan Plateau and runs through China's Yunnan province, Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam before emptying in the East Sea.
