The floating market in Yuvama Village is a famous attraction in Inle Lake and I am very impressed. It is the main venue for the 5-day market and the largest floating market in Myanmar. If you want to experience the local people's life, Iwama Village Floating Market is a good place to experience the local people's life as a local local market in Inle Lake. The floating market is located in the lower reaches of the Inle Lake. You don't have to find your own way, the boatman will naturally take it to the floating market. Although the floating market is very messy, the local boatman can always find a way to shuttle freely among them. After disembarking, follow the field to the market. With the increasing number of tourists, there are stalls selling souvenirs on both sides. Lacquerware and woodcarving are very special products. Walking through the wooden bridge, the market is full of people. It is full of vegetables and fruits freshly picked from the water garden. People sell a variety of daily-use small commodities. The fishermen buy dried fish and fresh fish here. The smells are mixed together, not good smell, and even a bit suffocating. In the eyes of most people, it is just a chaotic farmer's market. But I like it very much. The locals are here to find everyday needs, where you can see the most authentic life on the lake. Although carrying a huge camera, wearing is also incompatible with this place, people around me have cast a different look. But people are curious about the kind smiles they sent later, or let me relax. The narrow walkways and spaces between the booths give the space where the light penetrates. The air is scattered with tiny particles, showing a unique sense of light and space. The people who passed me by myself seemed to follow the path I designed for them, and walked into the magical light properly, which made me happy.
