TAG = "Han"

There are 3 villages in the Santaishan area. All three are farming villages:

1. Han Chinese village
2. Jingpo village
3. De’ang village

The Jinghpaw and De’ang are ethnic minority groups. Populations of both of these ethnic groups also live in Myanmar (Burma), in larger numbers than the groups found in China. The Han Chinese have the highest living standards of the three groups, so there are less cultural roadblocks to development for them.
