Beautiful Inle Lake

Discover a Myanmar less discovered, and take a half (or full) day boat tour to the villages around Inle Lake. We arrived by afternoon, enough time to wrap up the tour with stunning sunset. Serene and simply magical. Villages of simple homes made of wood and woven bamboo rise on stilts above water that, in sections, with elaborate floating gardens. The lotus fabric weaving workshop was also worth to visit. Overall experience was excellent. For those hesitant of boat adventures, fret not: the boats are extremely comfortable, not at all sea-sickness-inducing, and each passenger is seated in a very relaxing armchair of their own for the entire ride. Getting there - 1 hour domestic flight from Yangon to Heho Airport in Shan State. #newyearadventure#yearofrabbit#myanmar#inlelake#myanmar#celebratewithtrip#tripblazers

Few places represent so clearly the meaning of Myanmar. There is so much to see and do in Inle Lake and, above all, to feel, that it is best not to follow any other scheme than the one it proposes. Although Inle Lake is actually only 11 kilometers long, it is spread over so many marshes and canals that its watery influence ultimately extends for just over 100 kilometers. Fortunately, the shores of the lake are still largely untouched by any constructions that might obstruct such a dreamlike panorama. Nyaungshwe, the most important city with the largest tourist infrastructure, is connected to the lake by a canal of approximately 4 kilometers, which distances the Natural Reserve from any self-respecting urban commotion.#nationalpark

Inle Lake

Inle Lake (Burmese: အင်းလေးကန်; MLCTS: ang: le: kan, [ʔɪ́ɰ̃lé kàɰ̃]), a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 square miles (116 km2), and one of the highest at an elevation of 2,900 feet (880 m). During the dry season, the average water depth is 7 feet (2.1 m), with the deepest point being 12 feet (3.7 m). During the rainy season, this can increase by 5 feet (1.5 m).The watershed area for the lake lies to a large extent to the north and west of the lake. The lake drains through the Nam Pilu or Balu Chaung on its southern end. There is also a hot spring on its northwestern shore. Large sections of the lake are covered by floating plants. Its clear and slightly alkaline waters (pH 7.8–8) are home to a diverse fauna and many species found nowhere else in the world (endemics). There are more than 35 native species of fish, including 17 endemics. Some of these, notably the Sawbwa barb, red dwarf rasbora, emerald dwarf rasbora, Lake Inle danio, Inle loach and the Inle snakehead, are of minor commercial importance for the aquarium trade. Several fish that are not native have been introduced. Additionally, the lake is home to about 45 species of freshwater snails, 30 of them endemic, along with a small endemic freshwater crab, Inlethelphusa acanthica. It hosts approximately 20,000 migratory gulls in November to January. In June 2015, it became Myanmar's first designated place of World Network of Biosphere Reserves. It was one of 20 places added at the Unesco's 27th Man and the Biosphere (MAB) International Coordinating Council (ICC) meeting. Since 2018 it has been designated as a protected Ramsar site. #naturalwonders#lakes

Inle lake and a floating village

I visited this lake last two years. Inle lake is famous for a floating village and its traditional way of living. Some people live in the lake where they build floating houses and community including religious sites. It was amazing how people adapt themselves to the environment substantially. Also Don’t forget to look for fisherman in the lake. They catch fish by one leg! amazing!! #historicculture#beautifulsunsets#naturalwonders#summervacation

One of the highlights of my visit to Myanmar was taking a 2-day trek from Kalaw to Inle Lake. This path winds through the Burmese countryside, tiny villages, beautiful quiet forests, and acres of farmland and rice paddies. It’s my top recommendation for people looking for unique things to do in Myanmar. If you have time, the full trek takes 3 days (and 2 nights), but you can also do it in 2 days if you’re short on time. Along with admiring the amazing untouched scenery, you’ll also be able to connect with your guide, as well as the locals in the villages you pass through as you stop for meals and accommodations. Be sure to request a stay in one of the old wooden monasteries — the accommodations are far from luxury (you’ll be sleeping on a mat on the floor) but it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience that you won’t want to miss! Spend at least a few days in Inle Lake after your trek is finished, exploring the water villages, the amazing restaurants, and the artisan crafts for which this beautiful lake town is famous. #awesomepic

On a longtail boat exploring this vast lake (at 1,000 metres high, so nice cool breeze) with all the monasteries and pagodas you can imagine, incl floating gardens and villages on the lake. Special mention / thanks to Aureum Palace hotel (on the calm East side of the lake) for their wonderful hospitality, exemplary service and prime setting. #GiveThanks

A day at the lake...definitely a show for tourists as it brought every handmade craft, floating garden, minority tribe together in easy reach for tours but still incredible. As were the stupa ruins everywhere. #inlelake #myanmar

Myanmar's favorite treasure trove in Inle Lake! Take a boat and feel the life of the water town When it comes to Myanmar's favorite place, it must be the cool Inle Lake! In the hot summer, Inle Lake is as comfortable as a spring breeze, even the wind is a refrigerator, it is definitely a summer resort in Myanmar! The whole tour of Inle Lake is through boats, where the locals' buildings are all water cabins, which gives me the illusion of being in Semporna! In addition to watching the locals racing dragon boats and dancing and celebrating, you can also visit the textile factory. Of course, the luckiest thing is to double the rainbow. The joy of cheering everyone together is still fresh! Inle Lake is best known for its fisherman's foot. The locals use the one-legged boat to cast nets for fishing. The picture is absolutely out of the picture. Unfortunately, we didn't go to shoot specifically, but when we passed the boat, it was enough to move! Tips: You can fly to Heihe Airport, and you can take a boat for half an hour to get to the boat at Inle Lake! The whole Inle Lake is very large and has a great resort. If you can, arrange two or three days to explore Inle Lake slowly!

The floating market at Inle Lake is the best place to experience the lifestyles and customs of Myanmar's indigenous people. Here, you can feel the randomness of the food market, the fresh and seductive fruits and vegetables, and the locals. Bargaining, who will not love the ordinary life of fireworks? Most of the products in the water market come from floating islands. The water market here is similar to the country market in China. Every five days, there are local spices, fruits and vegetables, as well as fresh fish, shrimps and crabs that are salvaged in the water, as well as sugar and mountain goods shipped from the mountains. Wait, dazzling, rich in variety, cheap. With the winds and waters of Inle Lake tourism in recent years, various souvenirs such as wood carvings, lacquer wares and Buddha statues have appeared on the water market. Although not too fine crafts, it is It best reflects the local folk customs.

Niangshui Town is very small. The place to get off is very close to the scheduled hotel, and it took 5 minutes to drag the box. At the front desk, the proprietress filled out the form and entrusted the baggage. Go to the dock to find a boat. The pier is also not far away and walks to arrive. Just walking to the bridge, there is a ship boss to ask if you want a boat. Talking to him about the price and the itinerary, he sat in his shop waiting for the boatman. A boatman came, moved the boat to the dock and picked me up. About half past five, I started the tour of Inle Lake. day is already light. From the pier to the real lake area, a narrow waterway is required. On both sides of the waterway are various cruise companies and shops. The air on the surface of the water is cold and cold. After the boat accelerates, the morning breeze blowing in the face is cool and strong, let me fight. At Inle Lake, unique one-legged fishing can be seen both in the morning and before sunset. There is also a performance of bamboo poles for one-legged fishing. Real fishermen are now fishing with fishing nets. Fishermen are performance-oriented and need to tip. Between the lakes and mountains, the fishermen rowed the boat, and the various actions of fishing were carried out. Whether it's a performance or not, it's enough to be natural and aesthetically pleasing to the environment. The sun came out from behind the mountains, and the color on the lake turned from cold to warm. The birds flew over the mountains in the direction of the sun. The waterfowl is flying low on the lake, and the fisherman is working hard. The fragrance of the water grass is infiltrated in the humid air. This is the morning of Inle Lake, and everything is just right.

Bagan - Myanmar A niche and divine spot in Southeast Asia

Among the major cities in Myanmar, Bagan left the deepest impression. In February, the daytime temperature was over 40°C, so be sure to apply sunscreen. It's very convenient to buy a SIM card from Taobao before you go. Few people, beautiful scenery, highly recommended. On the 25 square kilometer plain of Bagan, there are more than 2000 pagodas. The large pagodas are well-known, while the small ones are only numbered. You can choose to ride a horse cart, an electric bike, or walk among the pagodas. The scale of pagoda construction during the Bagan Dynasty is considered the pinnacle in Myanmar's history of pagoda building. They are everywhere you look, in clusters and groups. Riding an electric bike every day on the dirt roads to explore various pagodas is endlessly fun and unforgettable. In the early morning, hot air balloons slowly rise from the misty trees, and the centuries-old pagodas stand solemn and serene. The hot air balloon sunrise here has a much stronger sense of history. Even more beautiful are the sunrises and sunsets on the plain. Sneaking up a thousand-year-old pagoda at dawn to watch the sunrise and hot air balloons rise simultaneously is a unique experience. Transportation: Fly from domestic cities to Yangon or Mandalay in Myanmar, then take a bus to Bagan. Sightseeing: The Bagan plain is divided into three areas: New Bagan, Old Bagan, and Nyaung-U. If you have a short travel time, it is recommended to mainly visit Old Bagan, where most of the major pagodas are located. If you have more time, you can also visit Nyaung-U and New Bagan. Travel Route: The main travel cities in Myanmar include Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake. If you visit all four, it's best to reserve about 10 days. Travel Season: The best time to travel in Myanmar is during the cool season from October to February each year. The sky is clear, and the sunlight is abundant. This season is also the best time for photography in Bagan and U Bein Bridge.

Enjoying Inle Lake by boat.

📍Inle Lake ✔️I rented a boat and visited Inle Lake, a representative tourist destination in Shan State, Myanmar. 🛶The boat tour was a rental for 5 hours at 30,000 Kyats (I adjusted the visiting places in advance. I thought 5 hours would be too exhausting, so I shortened it to 3 hours). ◽️Once you enter the vast Inle Lake, the sunlight is incredibly strong. The light reflects off the lake and dazzles, so make sure to bring the right gear. ◽️At the entrance to the lake, I was impressed by the floating farms called 'Chun Myo' and the people working on them, as well as the floating houses and hotels.

Floating on the island, the English name is Floating Island, just in the Inle Lake, the floating island village can be regarded as a wonder of Inle Lake, you can see the picture above. In order to make a living, the locals gathered the floating grasses, duckweed, and vines floating on the lake to cover the lake mud, creating a new floating island. These natural floating islands and artificial floating islands are all floating on the water.

The beautiful Lake Inle is the most unique symbol of Shan State. The quiet lake, against the blue sky, the colorful buildings on the shore, is more charming with Inle. In Inle, there is no need to deliberately seek anything. Boating in this quiet lake, just quietly enjoy the quiet, beautiful time here.

Sitting on the Inle Lake in the upper reaches of the ship, the boat bypassed the reeds and was worn out of the village. The first stop we stopped was Hand Weaving. As the name suggests, we saw the weaving workshop in this wooden house. The whole building trembled with the sound of the shuttle and the squeaking of the loom of the loom. The other room in the workshop was Finished products, silk scarves, tops, cages... good quality, not too low price. Then, we stopped at the handmade silversmiths and temples. It is conceivable that these places are not accessible by land. The ordinary people also rely on ships for traffic, and the sale of some souvenirs has become one of their few sources of income. One. It takes about 8 hours to walk around Inle Lake.

When we arrived at the Inle Lake, we found many small wooden boats docked on the shore. We got one of them. To be precise, this is a long-tailed motorboat because of the loud engine. From the shore to the south, there will be a reed, water garden, Yin Baokun... When we arrived at the end of the lake, a group of waterfowl came. At this time, the food will be thrown, the clever waterfowl will fly, some will fall into the water, and some will enter the waterfowl's mouth. So, we also began to throw a small piece to the waterfowl. The waterfowls are flying over our ship, with the water of Inle Lake and the distant sky. This scenery makes us excited.

It coincides with the annual Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda rice offerings festival in Inle Lake. Thousands of monks gather Buddhist temples to receive rice gifts. This is the feedback and thanks of the lakeside people after the annual grain harvest. This is the most important festival in the area. The villagers came from all directions, sitting barefoot for a day, eating their own dry food, but taking the best rice from home to supply them. This is a country where the whole people believe in Buddhism and God. People believe in karma. The good deeds of this life and the afterlife will help thousands of years later. When the future Buddha comes to the world, it will not suffer from reincarnation and end up in Nirvana.

One-legged fisherman is a unique landscape of Inle Lake in Myanmar. They stand on one foot and the other foot hangs on the boat with paddles, which requires a good balance. The fisherman carefully observed the underwater, once the fish was found, immediately covered the bamboo net with a mess. This is the original fishing method that Inle Lake people have passed down from generation to generation, and the modern fisherman has learned a new fishing technique: the boat is waiting for the water, and when the boat approaches, they hold the bamboo net and put a single-foot rowing pose to take pictures of the tourists. In exchange for a tip.

In fact, the introduction of Inle Lake, I think Baidu Encyclopedia said more than I know, and as a tourist, I think you only need to pack a boat, quietly on the lake to visit. To be honest, on the 10th in Myanmar, Inle Lake was unexpected. If someone has been to the floating market in Bangkok or Tonle Sap in Siem Reap, then the life of the floating people should not be too strange. It is only Inle Lake, which is much larger than Tonle Sap, and as a Buddhist country, the water life of Inle Lake is more abundant. The inhabitants of the lake who believe in Buddhism come to worship in an endless stream. And Inle Lake is more talked about, it should be the numerous floating islands on the water, these floating islands are also vegetable gardens, which can be raised and lowered with the fluctuation of the lake, or they can be drawn like a boat. Of course, there are fishermen who are rowing on one-legged boats. Those skilled poses have a fight with the poses of my big fishermen. Who makes people have a local style?
