Kachin state. (Jingpo or Jinghpaw)

Its been a long time since i blog about Myanmar, so here it goes.

i ♥ Myanmar


Kachin state which is known as Jingphaw Mungdaw is the Northern state of Burma.
Shan state is at the south.
The total area of Kachin is estimated to be 34,379 sq ft miles.
Myitkyina (89,041 km²) is the capital of Kachin state.
The highest mountain in Myanmar is located at Kachin state.
The mountain named Hkakabo Razi standing at estimated 5889m, forming the southern tip of the Himalays, and South East Asia’s largest inland lake,Indawgyi Lake.


Majority of the people in Kachin are ethnic KACHIN which also otherwise known as Jinghpaw.
Other ethnic groups such as Shan and Bamar are also living within this area.

Land in Kachin are predominantly for agriculture. Mineral products such as Jade and gold mining can be found there. But main ones are rice and sugar cane.

*there is snow in Kachin too!!! Its beautiful.
The first place i want to visit when i reach Myanmar will be Kachin.
