(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.
