Walk along the peripheral road of Royal Lake to Kara on the other side of the lake At the entrance of Royal Lake Park near Wei Palace, someone was on duty at the entrance and exit, requiring foreign tourists to buy tickets for 2,000 kyats per person.

After buying the tickets, I walked into Lakeside Park, a city with few tourists. The fountain on the lake with clear water and blue sky is full of trees and flowers. It is cloudy today and it is not very hot without the sun.

The first thing I saw when walking along the lake. On the opposite side of the lake is the Karawei Palace. This bird-shaped boat floating on the water is a magnificent palace building with Myanmar cultural characteristics. It is famous for being a royal banquet venue.

The lights are bright, there are singing and dancing at night, and a rich buffet dinner is provided, which is of course expensive. There is also a small island in the park, which worships various gods and Buddhas of unknown origin.

Let's take a quick look. It's just for check-in. Then we walked along the long wooden boardwalk towards the Shwedagon Pagoda. The boardwalk is wide and clean, but it is in disrepair, with nails falling off and uneven management in many places. It can be seen.

On the edge of the lake is the high-end hotel we just entered. The buildings under the shade of trees are more quiet, and it is rare for tourists and citizens to walk all the way to the other end of the park. At the entrance, I walked around the Royal Lake Park for about 80 minutes. There are no entertainment facilities in the entire park, not even rowing boats. There are only a few lonely fountains dotted on the calm lake.

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

On the Royal Lake, there are fishermen fishing with nets.

Karaway Palace is also one of Yangon’s iconic attractions. It is actually a bird-shaped boat floating in the lake (somewhat similar to Shifang in our Summer Palace). It has a magnificent appearance and luxurious interior decoration. The picture shows a close view of Callaway Palace.

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

This is the rice we grabbed that night. In fact, rice and vegetables are both good. Place them separately on a plate and you can do it without grabbing them with your hands. It’s not much different from eating Chinese food.
