Description
A burmese boy rowing on Inle Lake, Nyaungshwe Township, Taunggyi District, Shan State, Myanmar (Burma).
Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men.
Very important is the development of floating garden agriculture, largely along the western side of the lake.
