Introduction to Rangoon Royal Lake Photo of Rangoon Royal Lake

Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar, was once the capital of Myanmar, but later moved to Naypyidaw. As an ancient city where Buddhism flourished, Yangon has a splendid culture, and its aborigines and cultural customs have attracted the attention of tourists from all over the world. This is the tour guide of the Royal Lake in Yangon.

Royal Lake is located in the center of Yangon, east of Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon. It is an artificial lake built during the British colonial period. The picture shows the entrance to the Royal Lake.

ticket price

300K/ person (500K for taking photos, performance 15000K/ person, including buffet fee).

Follow the peripheral road of Royal Lake to the entrance of Royal Lake Park near Callaway Palace on the other side of the lake. Someone is on duty at the entrance and exit, asking foreign tourists to buy tickets of 2000 kyats per person.

After buying the ticket, I walked into lakeside park, a city with few tourists. The fountain on the lake with clear water and blue sky is full of flowers. It's cloudy today, and it doesn't feel very hot without the sun. This is a rare comfortable weather.

Walking along the lake, the first thing you see is the Callaway Palace on the opposite lake. This bird-shaped boat floating on the water is a magnificent palace building with Myanmar cultural characteristics. It was once a famous royal banquet place.

Now, when it's brilliant, the lights are bright, singing and dancing at night, providing a rich buffet dinner, and of course it's expensive. There is also an island in the park where all kinds of gods and buddhas of unknown origin are enshrined. They are lifelike and have different shapes.

Let's have a quick look. Just checking. Then we walked along the long wooden plank road to the direction of the Shwedagon Pagoda. The wooden plank road is wide and clean, but after all, it has been in disrepair for a long time, nails have fallen off, and many places are uneven. The backwardness of management can be seen.

The lakeside of the plank road is the upscale hotel we just entered. The buildings under the shade of trees are quieter, so it is rare for tourists and citizens to walk all the way. We walked easily to the entrance at the other end of the park and walked around the Royal Lake Park for about 80 minutes unconsciously. There are no amusement facilities or even boating in the whole park, only a few isolated fountains dotted on the calm lake, which are simple in shape.

Entering the Royal Lake, there are blooming flowers on the shore. There are open lotus flowers in the water.

On the Royal Lake, fishermen are fishing with nets.

This big bird by the Royal Lake seems to be a crow.

Royal Lake is a good place to walk in Yangon and watch the sunset. The picture shows the tour guide introducing the Royal Lake to us.

The circumference of the Royal Lake is about 5km, the depth is 50- 1 15cm, and the area is 60.7 hectares. It is connected with Inya Lake in the north of the city through underground pipelines for water replenishment. The picture shows the Royal Lake Fountain.

The Royal Lake is mainly used to provide clean water to urban areas. The whole lake is surrounded by 1 10 hectares of Royal Nature Park and 69.25 hectares of Yangon Zoo. The picture shows the Royal Lake Fountain.

On the Royal Lake, you can see the most distinctive Royal Mandarin Duck Boat in Myanmar, also known as the Callaway Palace. It looks spectacular during the day and is one of the most famous scenic spots in Yangon. At night, the lights are bright and reflect colorful light. The picture shows overlooking Callaway Palace.

The Callaway Palace in the Royal Lake is a representative building of Burmese style. The designer was ingenious and designed two legendary birds in Myanmar, Miaosheng Bird, with a pagoda on their backs. From a distance, it seems that there are two big birds floating on the Royal Lake. The picture shows overlooking Callaway Palace.

Callaway Palace is also one of the landmark attractions in Yangon. It is actually a bird-shaped boat floating in the lake (somewhat similar to Shifang in our Summer Palace). Its appearance is magnificent and its interior decoration is luxurious. The picture shows a close-up of Callaway Palace.

The modeling, carving and decoration of Karaoui Palace Hall depict the cultural characteristics and life scenes of the main ethnic groups in Myanmar. Gold and red are the main colors of the whole building, symbolizing auspiciousness and happiness. The picture shows the entrance to Callaway Palace.

This is the old lion at the entrance of Callaway Palace.

It used to be the Royal Summer Palace, and some of its relics look very good.

According to the tour guide, there are high-level Burmese folk song and dance performances here every night. Dinner is a buffet, with European and American flavors, Japanese and Korean dishes, Chinese and Thai dishes or staple foods. The picture shows the passage into Callaway Palace.

It is said that the price of song and dance tickets for Callaway Palace dinner is $30. The picture shows the waiter in Callaway Palace in ancient costume.

There are many service staff in Karaoui Palace, including many beautiful Burmese women.

Some guests have entered Callaway Palace one after another. Unfortunately, we didn't book dinner here. The picture shows the snacks provided free of charge to guests at Callaway Palace Restaurant.

Although I didn't eat in Callaway Palace restaurant next to Callaway Palace, I still photographed the beautiful sunset of Royal Lake.

This is the Callaway Palace, which is dyed red by the sunset.

Royal Lake Yangon has become a must for tourists from all over the world to visit Yangon. The picture shows tourists visiting the lake.

On Lake Royal, there is an island in the middle of the lake.

Besides CallawayPalace, there are many restaurants and souvenir shops in Royal Lake.

In the evening, we were arranged in this Myanmar restaurant next to the Royal Lake, where we ate the local specialty hand-grabbed rice.

The restaurant is decorated with Burmese characteristics.

This is the reception desk of the restaurant.

Sitting in the restaurant, you can overlook the Royal Lake and the distant scenery.

This is the rice we caught that night. Actually, rice and vegetables are very good. Put them on plates separately, and you can do it without hands. It's not much different from eating Chinese food.
