The hill-tribe(Palaung) are supposed to be descended from the dragons family. They considered themselves as borns from the egg of the dragon.And they say like the dragon egg is hatched open by the heat of the sun. So they presume the sun as their natural father and the dragon as the mother.There are mainly twelve different type of Palaung ethnics wearing twelve different sorts of costumes.The dressess became varied from the point of seeing their mother dragon in different time.

The palaung people who reside in the mountians normally live on growing tea. And most often they cultivate tea for all the people in Myanmar.So everywhere in their land is full of vast green tea fields.They produce three types of different tea something like green tea, black tea and pickled tea. The pickled tea is normally used for making tea salad.

you know , Myanmar is the only country in the world eating tea by making it salad.Most often the people drink tea rather than eating. By the way, i also have the family background of the Palaung hill-tirbe as my mom and my grandmother are from this tribe.So i speak the dialect of these people for communication on my trips.
