Review:
Floating Gardens of Inle Lake comprises a series of tiny artificial islands which were created by the communities around the shore as a way to cultivate their crops so that they wouldn’t limit their space just to the land that was available. The articulately crafted floating gardens bob over the water, swaying with the currents as farmers glide from plot to plot with a boat. Many of these unconventional gardens grow tomatoes, which are 90% of the gardens’ yields and have proven to be a prominent crop. Visitors will find the entire experience to be unique and provoking - you can even spend time talking to the farmers and getting an idea of what it is like for them to work in such a space.
