The last Prince of Hsipaw’s palace.
Visiting here was one of the highlights of Hsipaw. Read “Twilight Over Burma”. It is a good starting point for learning about Myanmar’s history.

Myanmar (August 2017)
Felicidad = simples momentos en Myanmar
Nach unserer Ankunft in Hsipaw sind wir am darauffolgenden Tag zu einem dreitägigen Trek durch das hügelige Shan Gebiet aufgebrochen. Übernachtet haben wir in Homestays bei Familien der Volksgruppe der Palaung.
Unsere erste Nacht haben wir im Dorf Pankam, in einem Haus neben dem Kloster, verbracht. Die Menschen leben sehr primitiv, auf recht kleinem Raum und müssen sich mit wenig zufrieden geben. Zudem herschen Spannungen zwischen den Ethnien und Rebellen kämpfen gegen das Militär. Trotz allem ist ihnen das Lachen nicht vergangen. Es hat mir enorm spass gemacht das Dorf zu erkunden und die herzlichen Menschen anzutreffen. Hier einige Bilder vom ersten Tag im ersten Dorf.
3 Day Village-Trek starting from Hsipaw. It was the most northern Place we went to in Myanmar. Actually there would be a lot more to see even further North, but this Area is widely closed by the Burmese Government because of various Conflicts and instability. Anyway, the Areas of Myanmar that are open for everyone have plenty to offer and so had our 3 Day Village-Trek. We were able to get an inside view of the simple Life, the People of these Villages have. Their Hospitality is absolutely heartwarming. We slept at two Homestays, where they cooked a lot of delicious organic food and took really good care of us. It was very nice getting the Chance to experience the Village-Life of Myanmar. Between the Villages we were walking through both hilly and sometimes more flat Landscapes with Agriculture almost all the Way. February is one of the most dry Months in Myanmar so most of the Fields were already harvested and not very green.. still scenic.
