Kandawgyi Nature Park, sometimes called Kandawgyi Garden, is one of the reasons why Yangon is often called the garden city. It is a retreat in the middle of the bustle and the noise, where couples, joggers and people looking for a relaxing stroll can unwind in a tranquil setting. The many picnic areas and playgrounds under the shady trees are especially popular with families and kids. But spread over 260 acres you can also find tropical gardens, restaurants and recreation centers, a big walkway along Kandawgyi Lake (the great artificial lake created in colonial times), a mini zoo and good views of the Shwedagon Pagoda and Karaweik Hall.  - viator

This lush, beautiful garden is a popular location amongst locals and tourists alike. Spread across an area of 260 acres, Kandawgyi Lake occupies a majority of the nature park. Karaweik Hall is a royal barge located amidst the lake that resembles a mythical bird, and offers up the perfect example of Myanmar architecture. Get a glimpse of the golden tomb of the Shwedagon Pagoda, and take your kids to visit the mini-zoo and playground on the premises.
