Kandawgyi Lake

Kandawgyi Lake, also known as Royal Lake, is a 150-acre artificial reservoir built during British colonial rule. The lake was created to serve as a drinking water supply, and today, it remains a recreational hub for locals and tourists alike.

The lake features scenic paths ideal for jogging and walking, and architectural highlights include the Karaweik Palace, a concrete replica of a royal barge. Visitors can experience serene moments, particularly at sunset when the golden reflections of the Shwedagon Pagoda shimmer on the water's surface.
