Inle Lake, located in Shan State, covers approximately 490,000 hectares and is home to a wide variety of birds, fish, otters and turtles. This large freshwater body also serves as a farm to one of the ethnic groups in the region, the Inthas, who practice floating island agriculture, locally called ‘Yechan’.
