Chiang Hung, Sipsongpanna or Keng Hung[1] (Tai Lü: ᦵᦋᧂᦣᦳᧂᧈ; Thai: เมืองหอคำเชียงรุ่ง; Mueang Ho Kham Chiang Rung, Chinese: 車里 or 江洪) was one of the states of Shans under the suzerainty of Burma and China.[2]
Chiang Hung was inhabited mainly by Tai Lü people, a branch of the Shans or Tai, hence its other name Meung Lu. Its capital was the city of Chiang Hung, modern Jinghong. The kingdom, in its most powerful state in the 13th century, covered a large area before being subjugated by neighboring powers such as the Yuan dynasty, the Lan Na kingdom, and the Konbaung dynasty. Chinese dynasties recognized the local leaders as tusi of Cheli (Chinese: 車里宣慰使).[3]
