Hsipaw

Hsipaw is a great retreat from the heat and crowds of Mandalay. Its about 200km (6 hours by bus) from the city - sitting on boxes of tomatoes the whole journey you will still enjoy the mountain-like scenery and when you finally reach the destination, you will find yourself in a laid back village.

Equipment: Nikon D700, Nikon D300, Nikon 17-35mm/f2.8, Nikon 50/f1.8, Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VRII, Nikon TC-17E II
