KUNLONG

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 947 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KUNLONG , the name of a
district
  and ferry on the Salween, in the northern Shan States of Burma. Both are insignificant, but the place has gained notoriety from being the nominal terminus in British territory of the railway across the northern Shan States to the borders of Yunnan, with its present terminus at
Lashio
 . In point of fact, however, this terminus will be 7 M. below the ferry and outside of Kunlong circle. At present Kunlong ferry is little used, and the
village
  was burnt by Kachins in 1893. It is served by dug-outs, three in number in 1899, and capable of carrying about fifteen men on a trip. Formerly the
trade
  was very considerable, and the Burmese had a customs station on the
island
 , from which the place takes its name; but the rebellion in the
great
  state of Theinni, and the southward
movement
  of the Kachins, as well as the
Mahommedan
  rebellion in Yunnan, diverted the caravans to the northern route to
Bhamo
 , which is still chiefly followed. The Wa, who inhabit the hills immediately overlooking the Nam Ting valley, now make the route dangerous for traders. The
great
 
majority
  of these Wa live in unadministered British territory.
