In terms of economic livelihood, fishing remains one of the most important activities for the inhabitants of Inle Lake villages. This region is famous for its Intha leg-rowers: highly skilled fishermen who propel their crafts forward using a swirling motion with the side of one leg. The Intha fishermen’s tricky balancing act becomes even more impressive as they employ their large, conical net to scoop up the day's catch. Then, they bring their catch to the Five-Day Market, a community meeting place where locals doing their shopping and/or sell their fresh produce and splendid handicrafts.
