Shan State, the land of picture postcard settings, occupied close to a quarter of Myanmar's landmass. It is often hard to find words to do justice to its beautiful scenery. Shan State is lost in ' the mists of time, shrouded in mystique, intrigue and adventure. The infamous Golden Triangle, the leg Rowers of Inie Lake, the Floating Markets and Gardens, the Long Necked Women, the Shan shoulder bag and the Nation's national dress, the ' longyi', woven by indigenous looms; all are part of what makes Shan State a must for the traveler who wishes to see the real Myanmar (The Golden Land).
