Some significant sites in Inle Region, Nyaungshwe Township in Southern Shan State are packed with local and foreign visitors during the first week of January.
Normally, tourists used to throng Inle Region during this period. But the number of local travellers who flock to the area has increased significantly during the three-day public holidays from 4 to 6 January, according to local tour operators. The sightseers visit ancient pagodas, handicraft industry, weaving industry, Maithauk Bridge, and a cultural museum in Nyaungshwe Township.
Inle Lake is a popular tourist attraction spot with natural scenery, ancient religious buildings, cultural customs of local people, handicraft industry, floating villages, floating farms, and the unique leg-rowing style of the residents.—Nay Myo Thurein
