Htawgaw from the road to Lang Yang.
"On the 12th [May, 1914] we reached Htawgaw, descending two or three thousand feet by a break neck path almost to the Ngawchang river, and then climbing up again to the fort, which, from an altitude of 6000 ft, commands the whole valley. At Htawgaw I met Mr Lowis, of the PWD [Public Works Department],w ho had built Hpimaw Road - he was now engaged on the fort, a compact little building of stone commanding a splendid view of the Ngawchang valley and the roads to China by the Hpare and Lagwi passes, both under 10,000ft. Once more attention must be drawn to the physical barrier maintained by such a mountain range. From Htawgaw onwards the valley is occupied by Lashis below, Yawyins (Lisus) above." ['In Farthest Burma', Capt. F. Kingdon Ward, London, 1921, pp.26-27]
