Pan Lon

Pan Lon[a] (Parauk: Pang Long, Chinese: 班弄; pinyin: Bānnòng; also 邦隆; Bānglóng, Burmese: ပန်လုံမြို့) is the capital of Panlong Subtownship, Hopang District, in the Wa Self-Administered Division of Myanmar.

The area is near the border with China, which lies at Mong Ling Shan mountain, about 11 km to the NE.

It stands at a height of four thousand six hundred feet above sea level, in a hollow surrounded by abrupt low hills, or rather cliffs, with a singularly jagged outline.

All the roads to Pang Long pass through two small defiles, one north and the other south of the village.

At both north and south entrances there are recently built gateways constructed of sun-dried bricks, with loop holes and a thatched roof.
