Central Riverfront

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:29:45

Hsipaw’s riverside produce market is most interesting before dawn when the road outside is jammed with hill-villagers (Shan, Palaung, Lisu) selling their wares: all are gone by 7am. Between here and the large central market are four column-fronted 19th-century godowns (warehouses) and a banyan tree worshipped by locals as a nat (spirit) shrine.
