Trekking to Shan Town from Hsipaw

The Burmese military junta, which mainly belongs to the ethnic Burmese, is very cruel to the country's ethnic minorities, and has threatened and intimidated them for a long time. The Shan in the northwest of the country are trying to maintain their language, their customs, their dress and their culture, but it is not easy. They warmly welcome foreigners to visit them as they usually show a lot of interest in their culture and lifestyle. You can do a 1-day trek or more to visit several different Shan towns. Perhaps the best guides are those of the Mr. Charles Hostel, the guide I had spoke very good English and was the son of the village chief, which meant we were received especially well in the village.
