Shwenyaungbin

Shwenyaungbin, also Shwe-nyaung-bin or Schwenyaungbiri, is a large village in Mogok Township, Pyin Oo Lwin District, in the Mandalay Region of central Burma.

[1][2] It lies at a meander on the Kin River and the National Highway 31 (Tonga Road), which connects it to Kyatpyin and Mogok in the east.

[3][4] Historically during the Sino–Burmese War (1765–1769), the Qing army in 1769 built a massive stockade (described as being "as big as a city"[5]) at Shwenyaungbin until Maha Thiha Thura took the offensive.

[6] The Burmese successfully attacked one of the walls of the fortress and in the end they agreed to a Peace Treaty with the Chinese.

Elephant inhabit the jungle to the west of the village, rhinoceros in the hills to the north, and barking deer, tigers, leopard, bear, wild pig, pheasant, peacock and partridges have also been sighted in the area.
