Kunlong

Kunlong

Kunlong is the name of a district and ferry on the Salween, in the northern Kachin State of Burma. It is served by dugouts, three in number in 1899, and capable of carrying about fifteen men on a trip. Formerly trade was very considerable, and the Burmese had a customs 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 Muslim rebellion in Yunnan, diverted the caravans to the northern route to Bhamo, which is still chiefly followed. The Wa people inhabit the hills immediately overlooking the Nam Ting valley.
