| Inle Lake |
Just
a short plane flight away from Yangon
in the cool green highlands of Shan
State, and yet seemingly worlds apart
from the rest of Myanmar, lies Inle
Lake in an area of outstanding natural
beauty. The lake itself sits at a
pleasant 2900 feet above sea level
and is famous for its leg rowers,
floating markets and prolific birdlife.
In this unique wetland environment,
whole villages sit on floating islands
on the lake. Colourful hill tribes
inhabit the surrounding fertile valleys
and forested mountaintops, and their
hand-woven silks are a specialty
of the region. |
