Kandawgyi Lake - Largest Artificial Lake in the Heart of Yangon, Myanmar

----- -----  There are two fairly large lakes in the heart of Yangon: Inya Lake and Kandawgyi Lake. Both are a source of pride for Yangon locals, as open green spaces that can be visited without an entry fee. I'm very grateful that I finally arrived to Yangon without a tour guide. Honestly, I was very skeptical about this, but actually brave enough to create an itinerary. The reason I went to Yangon was because I want to learn more about the local people, as other travelers has told me they were incredibly friendly.      Of course, to discover this, I had to go to a place where people gathered. That way, I could see for myself and greet people I knew. So, it was here that I learned that they are truly very friendly and polite. Kandawgyi Lake was on the way to my main destination. This afternoon, I had to head to the bus station, and since it was time to check out of the hotel and my luggage had to be loaded, we decided to head to a place crowded with locals to find a safe place. Besides looking for lunch and leaving my belongings near Kandawgyi Lake, I usually do the same, leaving my suitcase containing only clothes and no valuables. I found a comfortable and safe restaurant, then headed to the lake.      Here I walking around the area, even though I only walk 2 km, the total area of ​​the lake is dozens of times larger than the distance or steps I took. It was very warm that afternoon, but still within reasonable limits, and the breeze strong and gentle, so it didn't feel too hot. I wore light cloth, a hat, and sunglasses. There are bridges connecting Kandawgyi Lake, making it so beautiful and a favorite spot for locals. Many people were doing activities, even taking videos for content.    Right across from me there is a very beautiful building. Can you guess what it is? it is a temple or a pagoda? It certainly look very similar, but it not a temple, but rather one of Yangon's luxury restaurants. I approached, hoping to get in, but a reservation was required for lunch. Oh, what a shame, I thought. I can only stay at the door, but I tried my best. I still had a few kyats left, and I figured it be enough to eat at the restaurant. The design is indeed very interesting, like a ship with a dragon sailing on water. I think eating there would be a very unique experience, especially in Myanmar. I think I'll try to come here again in the future. ----- See you the next time hive friends! ----- ----- Editing by Lightroom and VN iphone 11 ----- ----- ----- [//]:# (!worldmappin 16.79448 lat 96.16466 long d3scr)
