Scenic Beauty of Htantalan and Cultural Dance

Chin State is located in the Northwest of the Union of Myanmar and have so many mountains. Towns such as Hakha, Htantalan, Phalam, Tiddim and Tonzen are situated in Northern part of the Chin State. Our MRTV-3 crew has arrived Htantalan, Western most town of Northern Chin State. And 24 miles far from Hakha, the capital city of the Chin State. The town of Htantalan is located 4,962 feet above sea level and surrounded by layers of greenish blue mountain ranges. In Htantalan Township, we have a chance to see the traditional dance of Hljian Chin tribe.

This group dance is performed on all happy and joyous communal occasions. This essential feature of this dance is Khaung Yay sipping. I hope you will like it. The aim of the dance is formed stead fastness of the Union and harmony of its nationals. Above 13 men and women happily join in the traditional dance and then sip Khaung Yay together in couples from the Khaung Yay pot, which is kept in the centre of dancing ground.

Among so many hills and mountains of the Chin State, a rare plain is named as Thik Mik valley lies between the route to Hakha from Htantalan which is also the primary site for rice-growers of Chin State. On the Chin mountain ranges, green pine trees are systematically planted to prevent forest depletion. In line with the geographical condition of the Chin State, tea plantations are also grown on the slopes by high land farming for creation of the region of largest tea plantation. Beautiful sceneries of Htantalan Township in the Chin State are remarkable for those who love natural scenic beauty.
