The country with the longest neck in the world

Myanmar's "long-necked clan", a 5-year-old woman wearing a bronze ring, has a neck as long as 70 cm, the highest in the world.

Introduction to the long-necked clan:

The long-necked ethnic group, composed of the Badong ethnic group of the Karen ethnic group bordering Myanmar in northern Thailand, can only be seen in Meihongshun town. At the age of five, their girl began to wear a copper ring around her neck, weighing about 10 kg, and then stretched her neck with a copper ring every year.

The longest neck is 70 cm. Someone must be curious. I have been wearing such a heavy collar that I can't take it off. How to clean your neck? In fact, people here will put straw into copper rings and brush them like saws, or help each other wash. Although it sounds incredible and uncomfortable, they don't seem surprised.

A woman with a long neck has only three chances to take off the copper ring around her neck in her life, namely, marriage, childbirth and death. On weekdays, the copper ring will not be removed. Some people say that women with long necks are dressed as long-necked dragons, while others say that this weird dress is to scare away hungry tigers looking around in the forest.

In addition, the cloth woven by long-necked people is also very special. Silk thread comes from lotus root, which is a relatively natural and simple knitting method, and the silk scarf feels very comfortable. The place where the long-necked people live together can attract a large number of foreign tourists here. Through tourism, long-necked people also better protect their ancient traditions.
