Overview about Kyaing Tong

            First of all, thanks for visiting this blog! I decided to create this blog for Kyaing Tong which is my lovely hometown since I've already have a facebook page and I think it will be good to have a blog as well. 

            Kyaing Tong, the Second Biggest city in Shan State, the city of Golden Triangle, also known as Keng Tung or sometimes Chiang Tung, is one of the most attractive towns in Myanmar. In culture and appearance, it feels closer to the hill town of Northern Thailand and Southern China, and the vast majority of the town's residents belong to one of several Tai ethnic groups: Shan, Tai Lü, Tai Khün and Tai Nuea.         

 

            It is a nice place to visit in Myanmar(Burma) and is known for its scenic beauty and many colorful ethnic tribes, enjoy shopping Thai-made products with reasonable prices and variety of local famous food which are very delicious.

 

             The weather is mostly chill almost like Winter but still pretty hot in Summer. The whole town is surrounded by many Mountains and looks green in every season. 

 

            There are many kinds of ethnic groups living in Kyaing Tong including Burmese and many villages of various ethnic tribes resided around Kyaing Tong. The tribes known as Gon, Lwe, Li, Wa, Lah Hu, Thai Nay, Shan, Li Shaw, Li Su, Palaung, Akha, and we can only differentiate the tribes by colourful dresses which is different to one another.

            In Kyaing Tong, most of the people do the living with firming and trading to and from Thailand and China and some work in Government organizations and Non-government organizations.
            

          They grow many firms including normal rice, sticky rice and many kinds of vegetables and fruits. Since the weather is always cold, there are many fruits and vegetables available almost all the time with very reasonable prices such as Apples, Oranges, Watermelon, Pineapples, Wild Apples, Pears, Peach and much more.
