Name
"Mongla", "Mengla" and "Meungla" are different romanizations of the same Tai word. Thus, to differentiate Mengla County in China and Mong La Township in Myanmar, the locals call the former Greater Mengla/Mongla while the latter Lesser Mongla/Mengla.
Administrative divisions
Mengla County has 8 towns and 2 townships.[3]
- 8 Towns: Mengla (勐腊镇), Mengpeng (勐捧镇), Mengman (勐满镇), Menglun (勐仑镇), Mohan (磨憨镇), Mengban (勐伴镇), Guanlei (关累镇), and Yiwu (易武镇)
- 2 Ethnic Townships: Yi Xiangming (象明彝族乡) and Yao Yaoqu (瑶区瑶族乡)
Biodiversity
Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is located in Menglun in Mengla County, covering an area of more than 1000 ha. Over 13,000 species of tropical plants are preserved in its 35 living collections.[4]
The last Indochinese tiger in the wild in China is believed to have been killed near Mengla in 2009. The perpetrator is believed to have been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment for this. [citation needed]
A tiny frog, Raorchestes menglaensis (known as the Zhishihe's bubble-nest frog or Mengla small treefrog) is only known from its type locality, Zhishihe in Mengla County.[5]
Climate
Mengla has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) with strong monsoonal influences. Summer is long and there is virtually no "winter" as such; instead, there is a dry season (December thru April) and wet season (May thru October). The coolest month is December, averaging 18.4 °C (65.1 °F), while the warmest is June, at 26.7 °C (80.1 °F); the annual mean is 23.4 °C (74.1 °F). However, high temperatures reach their peak in April before the onset of the monsoon from the Indian Ocean.
