Tai Long

These three subgroups are (1) the Tai Mao in the area around northern Shan state, a few miles north and south of the stretch of Nammao (or Shweli) River between Muse and Namkham as well as the western Yunnan in China, (2) the Tai Long, the southern Shan who inhabit the central and southern part of Shah state down to northern Thailand, and (3) the Tai Hkun in the eastern plains and river valleys of Kengtung.

Restore your Zen by taking in the beautiful beaches of the Tai Long Wan Coastline and visiting the Buddhist retreat of Po Lin Monastery.

While walking on Dragon's Back, you can have a bird's eye view of Stanley town, Tai Long Wan bay, the Tai Tam reservoir, and the South China Sea.

A highlight is High Island for views of the volanic-rock coast of Tai Long Wan, said to be one of the UNESCO Global Geoparks in the world.

We went hiking with a friend who is based there, Rosemary Vandenbrouke from "The Kitchen Musical." She took us to Tai Long Wan.
