Chin State, Mountainous state in western Myanmar.
Chin State covers a region of steep mountains and deep valleys, reaching elevations of 1,871 meters above sea level, with Hakha as its capital.
The territory transformed from independent city-states to the Chin Hills Special Division after Myanmar gained independence in 1948, becoming Chin State in 1974.
The region encompasses numerous tribes including Zo, Zomi, Laimi, K'Cho, Khumi, and Asho, each maintaining distinct languages and traditional practices.
The state contains the highest poverty rate in Myanmar at 58 percent, with limited infrastructure and educational facilities across its mountainous terrain.
The February 20 celebrations of Chin National Day feature traditional wrestling competitions, which hold deep cultural significance for local communities.
