Further north lays the evocative-sounding city of Mandalay where kings and queens once held court. Now a cultural and religious hub in the country Mandalay is still home to many craftsmen using traditional skills and methods. All the charm of this part of Myanmar lies mostly in the surroundings crafts villages, as well as in the countless pagodas and breath-taking landscapes.
Last but not least the tranquil waters of Inle Lake are home to the Inthar people who live in stilt houses and developed their own economic system: they grow anything from tomatoes (the region’s main ‘cash crop’) to the flowers required to build their extraordinary meter thick floating islands, which are made by weaving dry grasses, hollow stem weeds and water hyacinth. The lake’s surroundings also contains other treasures like the famous Phaung Daw Oo pagoda, ancient Buddhist monasteries or the joyful and colourful market: enough to not get bored one minute!
