The town is 16 miles (26 km) from Bawdwin Mine in Namtu Township. The town is in a mountainous area and lies east of the Shweli River, close to the Kokang Self-Administered Zone.[2]

During the current Myanmar civil war in December 2023, the town was the last State Administration Council-controlled territory in the Pa Laung Self-Administered Zone to be captured by the Ta'ang National Liberation Army during Operation 1027.[2]
