What to do and see in Shan State, Myanmar: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

September 13, 2021 Russell Mellin

Shan State (Burmese: ရှမ်းပြည်နယ်, pronounced [ʃáɴ pjìnɛ̀]; Shan: မိူင်းတႆး [mə́ŋ.táj]) is a state of Myanmar. Shan State borders China to the north, Laos to the east, and Thailand to the south, and five administrative divisions of Burma in the west. Largest of the 14 administrative divisions by land area, Shan State covers 155,800 km², almost a quarter of the total area of Burma. The state gets its name from the Shan people, one of several ethnic groups that inhabit the area. Shan State is largely rural, with only three cities of significant size: Lashio, Kengtung, and the capital, Taunggyi. Taunggyi is 150.7 km north east of the nation's capital Naypyitaw.

Oriental Ballooning - Inle Lake

Nestled between the mountains of the southern Shan State lies one of Myanmar's top destinations, spectacular Inle Lake, in the Southern Shan Hills, with the scenery providing stunning panoramic views. Flying over stilted villages, leg-rowing fishermen, floating gardens and layered mountains as a backdrop, Inle Lake is probably the most extraordinary place in the world to fly in a hot air balloon.
