Hkamti Long, Historical settlement in Shan States, Myanmar.

Located at the intersection of mountain ranges, Hkamti Long spans 2,330 square kilometers with the town of Putao as its central point.

Seven small principalities formed Hkamti Long, including Lokhun, Mansi, Lon Kyein, Manse-Hkun, Mannu, Langdao, and Mong Yak, under Shan rule since 1300.

The name translates to 'Great Place of Gold' in the Hkamti Khamti language, reflecting the regional mineral resources and mining traditions.

The territory remained outside British control after the Konbaung dynasty, maintaining independence through its remote location north of Myitkyina District.

The region experienced significant demographic changes as the Shan population gradually shifted due to Kachin and other ethnic group movements.
