It has an area of 2510.45 square miles, and is 18.61 miles wide between east and west, and 124.8 miles between south and north.

And workers of the Township Development Affairs Committee maintain them.” (See page 7) Traffic islands in Myitkyina are decorated with flower beds. Union Highway is kept clean in Myitkyina, Kachin State. The development of Myitkyina, the capital city of Kachin State, is now gaining momentum due to smooth transport.

Myitkyina is accessible directly by train from Mandalay, and by plane from Mandalay, Yangon and Putao. Smooth transport is the engine of remarkable development of Myitkyina and its better relations with other townships. During our trip, we witnessed significant progress of Myitkyina. We took an up-train to Myitkyina from Mandalay. On arrival at the station, we witnessed clean roads, fine buildings and houses, and huge traffic on roads, which represented rapid regional development.
