Sipsong Panna

Japanese: シプソン・パンナー(英語表記)Sipsong Panna
Sipsong Panna
The name in the Tai Lue language for the southernmost part of Yunnan Province, China, bordering Laos and Myanmar. Written in Chinese characters as Xishuangbanna. Many ethnic Thai people live here, including about 210,000 Tai Lue people. Sipsong represents the number 12, and Panna is said to mean the traditional administrative unit centered on the main basin. From around the 12th century until liberation by the People's Liberation Army of China in 1950, the Tai Lue kingdom existed here. The inhabitants maintain a culture common to the Thai people of northern Indochina, including lifestyle practices around rice (glutinous) cultivation, performing arts, and rituals.
