Old villa—The owner left this house for his caretaker to maintain. It was call “Haw Hong” (Northern Palace) during the administration of the Kengtung princes or “Saohpa”. There are many new nondescript concrete houses, but some old buildings of stone or brick in European and Indian styles with tiled roofs still remain in the town, especially around the central Nawng Tung Lake. Some of Kengtung’s most distinctive buildings are several large Buddhist temples and monasteries.
