Myawaddy is part of the Myawaddy Park, which is geographically located in eastern Myanmar but is part of northern Myanmar. The northern part of Myanmar refers to the Chinese settlement in northern Myanmar. The northern part of Myanmar, also known as "Upper Myanmar", consists mainly of Maguire, Mandalay and Sagaing Divisions and Chin, Kayah, Shan and Kachin States. Shan State is not only the main migration point for Chinese immigrants from Yunnan in history, but also a complex and sensitive area, mainly due to the influx of new Chinese immigrants in recent years.
