The city of Mandalay has perhaps the largest Panthay (Chinese Muslims) community in Myanmar. A dwindling community of Anglo-Burmese still exists in both Maymyo and Mandalay, particularly in an area formerly known as Civil Lines or New Civil Lines. Along the eastern borders, there are large numbers of Shan.
