On this episode of DVB's 'Doh Pyay Doh Myay' [Our Land Our Region] Roadshow, the team tours the mines of Hpakant. <br /><br />Hpakant’s grim hills conceal the world’s largest known deposits of jade. Deep veins of the precious stone run throughout this area in south central Kachin State, a region once lush with jungle and woven by clear streams.<br /><br />The jade that lies under the upturned Kachin hills is of the highest quality.<br /><br />And it is the most sought after jade on the Chinese market.<br /><br />Join the Roadshow team as they meet the people of Hpakant, who exist in a dark world fuelled as much by drug addiction, as the hope of striking it rich.<br /><br />After watching our special feature on Hpakant's jade curse, follow the team’s journey at facebook.com/dvb.dpdm or visit the website dvbdpdm.com
