The most beautiful natural sites to discover Yangon

All around Lake Kandawgyi, one can take the time for a pleasant walk in parks. Within a few meters you are literally cut off from the urban traffic, like inside a green lung in the heart of Yangon. We cross pretty bridges to get to the islands, where you can find restaurants half on stilts, nurseries trying to sell their small seeds, and lovers out for a stroll... The place is ideal for cooling off on hot afternoons. One can lose hours there by forgetting the time that passes.

Not far from the superb Shwedagon pagoda, this park is one of the places where you can take a step back from its architecture, golden and pointed towards the sky. This park is essentially made up of vast expanses of grass where one comes to frolic with family or friends. The place is very popular with Burmese lovers. But above all, particularly pleasant during the hottest periods, but also at weekends, when you will come across more locals, who also come to walk here.

Situated in the north of the city, Lake Inya and its park is appreciated for its calm and softness, especially on the hottest days. It is a good place to rest between two visits. Be careful however, the entrance is sometimes blocked by the authorities when receptions are held in the luxurious residences on the shores of the lake. It is also on the south shore of the lake that Aung San Suu Kyi's home is located, where she was under house arrest for several years, near the U.S. embassy. Hence the nickname: the Lady of the Lake.

In the south of lake Kandawgyi the zoo is representing a place to avoid for sensitive souls because the animals are enclosed in very young and mall in point.

On the other hand, it is interesting to visit the natural history museum where various reptiles in jars are arranged (not necessarily fragmented better than the animals), fossils, and you have a first approach to the tropical vegetation. Finally, the last attraction of the park is the national Aquarium. The zoo is especially a picnic for Burmeses.
