Inle Lake is an ideal place in Myanmar for those who want to find peace of mind and to feel the slow rhythm of life. As being the second biggest and the most beautiful lake in Myanmar, Inle is a prosperous home for many creatures, plants as well as ethnic communities. Flowing on a wooden sampan, you can immerse in the pleasant atmosphere and observe the farmer working on floating gardens, the rustic stilt houses, the iconic image of one - leg-rowing fishermen and the distinctive traditional handicrafts. These words can not draw a lively picture; only when you come and see with your own eyes.
