The Markets of Inle Lake

Located in Burma's Shan State, Inle Lake is a long, shallow body of freshwater surrounded by lush hills and inhabited by about 150,000 people from various ethnic groups. A five-day rotating market brings people together to buy, sell and trade everything from produce and cattle to lipstick and handmade machetes. It's a fascinating scene and a beautiful example of a cultural landscape.
