Mawkmai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mawkmai is one of the largest states in the eastern division of the southern Shan States of Burma (Burma). It has an area of 7,215 km². The central portion of the state consists of a wide, well-watered plain on which rice is grown. The rest is chiefly hills in ranges running north and south. Rice is the chief crop, but much tobacco of good quality is grown in the Langko district on the Tang River. There is also a great deal of cattle-breeding. The capital city is also called Mawkmai.
