Upon arrival we drive north to Kyaing Tong, a distance of 165km. Isolated in the far east of the Shan State, Kyaing Tong was considered the capital of the Golden Triangle and for many years was closed to visitors due to trafficking and insurgency. Nowadays peace has returned to the quiet, pagoda lined streets of this attractive town. It is a perfect base to explore the surrounding rugged terrain, buildings from British colonial rule and ethnically diverse hill tribe villages that still largely follow traditions and animist beliefs that have changed little over the centuries.
