Chiang Hung

Chiang Hung, also called Moeng Lü, was a Tai Lü kingdom on the middle Mekong, with its capital at Chiang Hung. In 1296 the Yuan created the Cheli administration and granted its kings a title and the Chinese surname Dao.

After a brief period of autonomy in the sixteenth century, Chiang Hung became a Burmese tributary under Bayinnaung following his conquest of Lanna in 1558. He divided it into twelve districts, or panna, giving rise to the name Sipsong Panna; Burma and the Qing later contested the kingdom.
