: Yinlai Lake Restaurant recommends

1. Hongshan Wine Manor.

This manor is located on the hillside near Yinlai Lake, which is the place to watch the sunset as mentioned above. The winery is semi-open and overlooks Yinlai Lake in the northern half. The environment and scenery are very good. It is said that the best wine in Myanmar is produced here and the price is very cost-effective. Besides wine, there are some western-style meals and snacks with wine. You can have afternoon tea and wait for sunset, or have dinner here.

Tip:

You can rent a car or ride a bike. Of course, you need good physical strength, because you have to ride to the mountains ~

2. Good environment: Green Chili Restaurant

This restaurant is located in Nianshui Town, which is a restaurant with Southeast Asian characteristics and a relatively high-end local restaurant. There are Burmese food, Thai food and Chinese food. The environment is good, but the price is a little expensive ~ I recommend Thai curry and chicken coconut ~

3. Chinese food: Hu Ping restaurant

The Chinese food here is delicious, and the boss can speak Chinese. It's a restaurant run by overseas Chinese in Guangdong. Those who miss the taste of hometown food can come here. The price is also very suitable, and the cost performance is high, but the environment is relatively average ~

4. Water meal: Sky Restaurant

This is an inconspicuous water restaurant, just like the water restaurant in Yinsai Lake. At first, because of convenience, the tour guide brought it here to eat. I didn't expect it to taste good. You can eat Burmese Chinese food here, which is cooked by Burmese cooking methods. Only the share is relatively small and the price is relatively high. It can be used as a stopover for a day trip on the lake ~

5. Experience class: inhaHouse/ bamboo house cooking class

These are two places where you can experience cooking classes while eating. InthaHouse is conveniently located by the lake, where tourists from all over the world will share and exchange food. Bamboo sheds are far away, just some home-cooked dishes. It's said that all the dishes here are home grown ~

Tip:

It is recommended to stay at the lakeside hotel in Yinsai Lake. Although it takes a long time to get in and out, it usually takes about 4 minutes to drive from Niangshui Town to the hotel by the lake, but the scenery is really worth it! If you want to save money and are not afraid of trouble, you can stay in Niangshui Town for the first night. The next day, you can take your luggage directly and stay in a hotel by the lake, which can save the transportation expenses by boat or car.

: Precautions

1. Climate: The season of Yinlai Lake is divided into three seasons: cool season, dry season and rainy season. October to March is the cool season and the most suitable season for traveling. At this time, the weather is fine and the temperature is suitable, and the daytime temperature is between 2-3 degrees. The dry season starts in April, and it will get hot. The rainy season starts in August, and it often rains.

2. Dressing: Because Yinsai Lake is located in the plateau, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is relatively cool in the morning and evening. It is recommended to wear trousers and coats in the morning and evening, especially when taking a boat. When the wind blows, it is cooler. You'd better take a coat to keep out the wind and sun.

3. Tickets: As soon as the bus enters Niangshui Town, people will ask for tickets. Tickets for Yinsai Lake are 12,5 K per capita. This is the pass of Yinse Lake, and you have to pay for it. There is an extra charge for taking pictures in some places. Nobody has half a million dollars.

4. Shopping: There are many places in Yinsai Lake where you can buy souvenirs. No matter whether it's a market or a shop, remember to bargain ~

5. Currency: generally, only Burmese currency can be used in Yinsai Lake, and there is almost no place where American dollars can be used, so remember to change money in advance before arriving at Yinsai Lake ~

6. Hygiene: The sanitation here is not very good. It is recommended to take some commonly used drugs with you, such as antidiarrheal drugs and cold medicines. In the dry season, the weather is hot and there are many mosquitoes, so you can prepare some anti-mosquito drugs and try to choose bottled water for drinking water ~

7. Tipping: generally, tipping is not required. If the driver or the waiter in the hotel or restaurant serves well, you can give a little. There will be many children and women begging in tourist attractions, especially near the stupa. If you like, you can give some small change, or you can bring some small gifts such as candy and ballpoint pen instead of money.

8. Accommodation: If the hotel is located by the lake, you should arrive in advance to check in. If you arrive at the dock later, there will be no boat. You can only drive in. It takes about 4 to 5 minutes by car, and the journey will be bumpy ~
