Burma / Myanmar: Laymen processing a Buddha image pass a line of Buddhist monks, Kyaing Tong (Kengtung), Shan State. Located in the northeast of the country, Shan State covers one-quarter of Burma’s land mass. It was traditionally separated into principalities and is mostly comprised of ethnic Shan, Burman Pa-O, Intha, Taungyo, Danu, Palaung and Kachin peoples.
The Shan have inhabited the Shan Plateau and other parts of modern-day Myanmar as far back as the 10th century.
