| Summary: | Inle Lake, in the hills of East Burma, presents the highly characteristic landscape of floating gardens which were created during the 20th century by the local ethnic group of the Intha. The Intha have succeeded in establishing a very intensive agricultural system with strong links with the rest of the country and the world. In the context of the opening up of Burma, this remarkable landscape is promoted by the professionals of the tourism sector, however, they tend to avoid showing the intensive, globalised and innovative approach this agricultural activity represents. On the contrary, they present the floating gardens as symbols of timeless Burmese “tradition” and “authenticity”. |
