Mongyawng State

Mongyawng State occupies 13,000 square kilometers of eastern Myanmar territory, characterized by hills, valleys, and numerous waterways near the Thai border.

The territory transformed from a component of the Ava kingdom into a British colonial administrative unit before becoming part of independent Myanmar in 1948.

The population includes Shan, Wa, and Kachin ethnic groups, each maintaining their specific traditions through festivals, music performances, and religious ceremonies.

Local transportation within Mongyawng State relies on a network of buses and motorbike rentals, with services concentrated in the main township.

Tea cultivation, rice production, and rubber plantations form the foundation of the local economy, supporting thousands of agricultural workers across the state.
