Inle Lake, the second largest lake in Myanmar, is a freshwater lake located in the Shan Hills. Hpaung Daw U Pagoda (also spelt Hpaung Daw Oo or Phaung Daw Oo) is a notable Buddhist site located on the Inle Lake in Shan State.

Shwe Yan Pyay Monastery is a 19th century monastery built entirely of teak, painted red, that today remains in full operation as school and home for young novice monks and their teachers.

Nyaung Shwe is a small town popular with tourists visiting Inle Lake. It consists of one main thoroughfare with many side streets and just a few parallel roads.. It also serves as a marina for a lot of long boats carrying tourists into Inle lake.

The Shwe Yan Pyay Monastery is a short walk to the north of town and is well known by photographers because of its unique architecture.

Photographers are drawn to it for its unique oval windows – and the incredible light found inside - and for the white stucco temple next to it with its red interior and thousands of niches, each holding a small Buddha.
