It is a port on the Irrawaddy River and the administrative seat of Tigyaing Township. HistoryWhen the Mongols first invaded Burma in 1277, the excessive heat forced them to turn back at Htigyaing which was later taken along with Tagaung in 1283 eventually leading to the fall of the kingdom of Bagan.[1] The Saopha of Wuntho rose up in rebellion in 1891 and attacked Kawlin forcing the British to fall back on Htigyaing.[2] Transport and economyKatha - Htigyaing section of the Shwebo - Myitkyina road has been shortened in recent years from 58 miles to just over 26 miles by Mezar Bridge linking Htigyaing with Indaw. Rice paddies, rubber and teak plantations constitute the main agricultural activities in the area.[3]Notes1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://sunzi1.lib.hku.hk/hkjo/view/26/2600239.pdf.|title=A Sketch of Burmese History, The China Review|last=Parker|first=E H|accessdate=2008-11-20}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=WCT18910429.2.15&cl=&srpos=0&st=1&e=-------en--1----0-all|title=The War in Burmah, West Coast Times, 29 April 1891|publisher=Papers Past|accessdate=2008-11-20}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://mission.itu.ch/MISSIONS/Myanmar/05nlm/n050917.htm|title=Entrepreneurs carrying out cultivation|publisher=New Light of Myanmar 17 September 2005|accessdate=2008-11-20|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051227102703/http://mission.itu.ch/MISSIONS/Myanmar/05nlm/n050917.htm|archivedate=27 December 2005|df=dmy-all}} External links
