(Myanmar) Inle Lake is located in the heart of the Shan Plateau. It is a beautiful highland lake, 900 meters above sea level. The lake is 22km long and 10km across, and inhabited by many different ethnic nationals of the area. The Intha people are the Lake dwellers who are unique for their leg rowing. Leg rowed traditional boats are the main ceremonial attractions of the Inlay Lake.
Myanmar is the land of pagodas, a country of high-stilted houses. They simply call themselves the friendly, generous people and with places so In-thar, Son of the Lake or In-thu, Daughter of the serene that they cure the stresses of the world Lake. The astonishing thing about them is that just by being there.
One of the places is Inle although they live right in the midst of the Shan race Lake, a blue sea in the Southern Shan State 11 miles and its sub-races, the In-thar have a different long bordered with mountain ranges that in different language, that of the Dawai, which is a type of weather turn from blue to green to mauve and grey.
Myanmar with a different pronunciation and several Inle at 2,918ft above sea level is wonderful in any different words. In fact the language is very much like season: deep blue skies and cooling breezes in the one spoken by a coastal race the Dawai that lives summer; spectacular sunrises and sunsets on the over 600 miles south on the Tanintharyi coastal foamy clouds of monsoon; and sparkling light and region. By word handed down for generations the deliciously chilly nights in the cold season.
In-thar believe they originally lived there as Dawai people but that somehow a group travelled or were Nature has graced Inle with many beautiful things, taken to the mountainous land-locked region of the not least the people who actually live on the lake in Shan. Naturally enough they would settle on and around the biggest body of water they could find, with deep nostalgia for the sea they had left. Inle Lake in ancient times was believed to be a hundred miles long, and thus the migrants simply called themselves ‘children’ of their new home. Indeed, they make Inle a home to their unique lifestyle that is seen nowhere else.
