Ngasingu

Ngasingu stands beside the Irrawaddy north of Ava, where the river runs between the Burmese plain and the hills of the Shan plateau. During the third Qing invasion of Burma, the army of Ming Rui crossed the northern Shan country and advanced to Singu early in 1768. The approach brought the invading force close to Ava, but Burmese counterattacks later cut its retreat through the mountains.
