Long Neck Tribe of the Hill Country
These women—who are identified by their long necks that are stretched by brass neck coils(项圈)from an early age—have become worldfamous.You'll find this tribe in the mountainous north of the country,especially in Chin state.This custom dates back to ancient times when tribesmen—who were always at war with neighboring tribes—put neck coils on their women to prevent them from being taken as prisoners of war.These days,the longnecked women are used to seeing foreigners,who make the long journey to this isolated region of Myanmar for the purpose of seeing them.
Mandalay City
