Floating Villages
Floating villages are communities built on water, often found in areas with shallow lakes or rivers. These villages consist of houses and structures that are anchored or built on rafts, allowing residents to live and work on the water. They are commonly seen in regions like the Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia and the Inle Lake in Myanmar.
The inhabitants of floating villages rely on fishing, agriculture, and trade for their livelihoods. Their unique lifestyle is adapted to the changing water levels and seasonal conditions, showcasing a harmonious relationship with the aquatic environment. Floating villages also attract tourists, offering a glimpse into traditional ways of life.
