Ywama village is located on the western side of Inle Lake. Most of the homes and buildings are constructed on piles driven into the lake bed. Residents travel around by canoe,
but there are also numerous bamboo walkways and bridges over the canals running throughout. As such, there is no main street or square, but there are pagoda complexes and
monasteries on built-up areas. If you get on a tourist fantail you'll end up here. Note the souvenir hawker approaching the tourists before they can even land.
