The Karaweik Hall at Kandawgyi Lake

5-Feb-2017 • Yangon Myanmar

Another sight on our must see list in Yangon was the boat in the lake. I had seen a picture of it from the Instagram account of a friend who had just visited the Burmese capital a few days earlier and upon seeing the post, I knew I too had to see it for myself. We just walked to the park early in the morning and we got there just fine. Returning to the hotel though was tough since it was mid day and the sun's rays were just too oppressive. We ended up taking a cab for 3,000 Kyat (pronounced Chat) or $3.

This was the gilded boat I was talking about. It was definitely a wonderful sight.

Of course, I wasn't going to let an opportunity like this pass. I had to have my picture taken!

This was the wooden walkway which scared us a little bit. The wooden planks were loose. We didn't want to fall into the lake.
