Hsipaw

From Mandalay I went east toward the Shan State in the mountains, taking a train over the Goteik viaduct and walking around in the beautiful city of Hsipaw

June 15th, 2013

Hsipaw in the morning, with young monks walking around asking for rice.

Almost over. With a 113 year old bridge it's limited how much trust I put in it.

Water buffalos

I'm guessing these are rice terraces, although there wasn't much rice to be seen when I was walking there.

Vendors along the street at 4:30 in the morning.

The vegetable market in Hsipaw starts at around 3:30 in the morning, so the vendors have candles and lights to show off their goods.
