Floating Gardens, Taunggyi

#2 of 11 in Things to do in Taunggyi

One of the region's most iconic sites, Floating Gardens provide sustenance and livelihood for a significant portion of the local Intha people. Made from compressed masses of hyacinth flowers and other aquatic plants, these fertile gardens rest atop the surface of Inle Lake and allow for the cultivation of tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables. Take a boat ride on the lake to see the gardens rising and falling with the water level, making them resistant to floods. As you explore, you'll pass huts and homes on stilts, and get a chance to see the surrounding mountain scenery from a different perspective. By using our Taunggyi trip planner , you can arrange your visit to Floating Gardens and other attractions in Taunggyi.

Die schwimmendenden Gärten sind schön anzusehen. Praktisch und gesund. Das Gemüse ist sehr gut. Die Arbeit aus dem Boot ist nicht einfach aber ist Gartenarbeit nie. more »

The ending floating gardens are beautiful to look at. Practical and healthy. The vegetables are very good. The working out of the boat is not easy, but never is gardening.

Interesting to see as you cruise by in a boat. Not really worth a stop unless you are a dyed-in-the-wool horticulturalist. more »

Awesome floating gardens in the middle of Inle lake. Beautiful green tones and touch of local agriculture. more »

Un réel plaisir de naviguer le long des canaux de ces jardins flottants ... Surtout après 5 jours de trek à la découverte des ethnies du pays shan. Le temps de ce séjour dans cet endroit est malheureusement limité mais je resterai bien une ou deux semaines de plus à profiter de ce lieu absolument magique ...

インレー湖では、水上でトマトを栽培している。ツアーだと船を止めてその水の上の浮き草を歩かされる。結構沈むので怖いが、船頭の少年は平気な顔でデモンストレーションしていた。

Inle Lake, growing tomatoes in the water. Stop the ship's tour, is made to walk a precarious on the water. Quite as scary, but a boatman boy was demonstrated with a straight face.
