About Taunggyi

Literally meaning "huge mountain," this high altitude city offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
Taunggyi is the capital of Shan State, Myanmar (Burma) and lies within the Myelat region. Taunggyi is the fifth largest city in Myanmar (with Naypyidaw, Bago), and is at an elevation of 4,712 feet (1,436 m) above sea level. The name Taunggyi means "huge mountain" in the Burmese language, and is named after the ridge on the east of the city, part of the Shan Hills system, whose prominent high point is called Taung-chun or "The Spur." Locally this spur is popularly known as Phaya Taung. The ridge has a more prominent and more popular feature known as Chauk Talone, meaning the Craigs.
