MANG LON

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 572 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MANG LON , a state in the northern Shan states of Burma. It is the
chief
  state of the Wa or Vu tribes, some of whom are head-hunters, and Mang Lon is the only one which as yet has direct relations with the British government. Estimated area, 3000 sq. m.; estimated
population
 , 40,000. The state extends from about 21 30' to 230 N., or for roo m. along the river
Salween. Its width varies greatly, from a mile or even less on either side of the river to perhaps 40 M. at its broadest
part
  near Takut, the
capital
 . It is divided into
East
  and West Mang Lon, the boundary being the Salween. There are no Wa in West Mang Lon. Shans form the
chief
 
population
 , but there are Palaungs, Chinese and Yanglam, besides Lahu. The bulk of the population in
East
  Mang Lon is Wa, but there are many Sham and Lahu. Both portions are very hilly; the only flat land is along the banks of streams in the valleys, and here the Shans are settled. There are prosperous settlements and bazaars at Nawng Hkam and Mong Kao in West Mang Lon. The Wa of Mang Lon have given up head-
hunting
 , and many profess Buddhism. The
capital
 , Takiit, is perched on a hill-top 6000 ft. above sea-level. The sawbwa is a Wa, and has
control
  over two sub-states, Mot Hai to the north and Maw Hpa to the
south
 .
