Yangon in Myanmar (Burma): Shwedagon Pagoda, Kandawgyi Lake & park, street markets and Myanmar food
One day in Yangon Myanmar is just enough to visit the amazing Shwedagon Pagoda and its many surrounding temples which is a must see for anyone visiting Yangon. At night the Shwedagon Pagoda is lit up.
Before visiting the Shwedagon Pagoda (not to be confused with Shwegadon which is the name of a place close to Mandalay further south in Burma) I spent the morning wandering around a typical Myanmar street market watching the poeple of Myanmar go about their daily lives and looking at all the amazing fresh fruit, veg and fish for sale. It's thirsty work so I head to the Kandawgyi Lake & Park which is a beautiful lush green area in the middle of Yangon with lots of cafes and restuarants, in the area of the Karaweik which is a replica of a clasically styled Royal Barge.
Across the lake you can see the Shwedagon Pagoda, and so after an amazing strawberry smoothie I make my way to the Pagoda for the highlight of my first day in Yangon Myanmar.
Lunch today was at the Love Boat, which I chose at random in one of the malls, and it was absolutely delicious!

Kandawgyi Lake, is certainly one of most important lakes in Yangon, Myanmar. Positioned east of the shwedagon pagoda, the lake is artificial; water from Inya Lake is channelled through a sequence of pipes to kandawgyi lake. It was created to offer a smooth water supply to the city all through the british colonial administration.
The Kandawgyi Lake has Karaweik Hall, also referred to as karaweik palace is one in all Yangon’s many landmarks.

Kandawgyi Lake, Rangon, Myanmar | Canon HD | Virtual Trip
Kandawgyi Park (center of Yangon)
Kandawgyi Park is undoubtedly the most beautiful park in Yangon in Burma.Some people say that its bridge is much longer than the famous U-bein Bridge in the outskirts of Mandalay, which one wants to believe so much Is long. The tour of the lake is about 8 kilometers and there is a zoo not far away. The location is magnificent and ideal for taking pictures: for its monks, the bridge itself, the water lilies that cover the lake, Water by hundreds, the crows in the distance that constantly chatter and seem to be the kings in this country ... and its Karaweik, an imposing replica of a golden royal barge on the eastern shore.
We meet here many monks, often very young and who easily lend themselves to picturesque scenes. Arriving in Yangon we soon realize that the monks of Burma are one step ahead of the image In the West. Now we see them wearing glasses in hand, sometimes accompanied by women. The younger monks who train in the park do not hesitate to beg for money, whereas we are used to believe In the West that it is forbidden to them.
Anyway this park is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places of the city, and its visit can take hours ... to do absolutely !!!
Inside you find a rather chic restaurant where you meet Burmese and foreigners of a rather high social level.

Myanmar- inside Shwedagon Pagoda Yangon
A look around the most sacred Buddhist pagoda for the Burmese . A must see for tourists to Burma
Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (formerly Burma)
Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (formerly Burma)
The Shwedagon Pagoda, officially named Shwedagon Zedi Daw and also known as the Great Dagon Pagoda and the Golden Pagoda, is a gilded stupa located in Yangon, Myanmar. The 326-foot- pagoda is situated on Singuttara Hill, to the west of Kandawgyi Lake, and dominates the Yangon skyline.
Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar, as it is believed to contain relics of the four previous Buddhas of the present kalpa. These relics include the staff of Kakusandha, the water filter of Koṇāgamana, a piece of the robe of Kassapa, and eight strands of hair from the head of Gautama.
The pagoda is listed on the Yangon City Heritage List.
The stupa's plinth is made of bricks covered with gold plates. Above the base are terraces that only monks and other males can access. Next is the bell-shaped part of the stupa. Above that is the turban, then the inverted almsbowl, inverted and upright lotus petals, the banana bud and then the umbrella crown. The crown is tipped with 5,448 diamonds and 2,317 rubies. Immediately before the diamond bud is a flag-shaped vane. The very top—the diamond bud—is tipped with a 76 carat (15 g) diamond.
The gold seen on the stupa is made of genuine gold plates, covering the brick structure and attached by traditional rivets. People all over the country, as well as monarchs in its history, have donated gold to the pagoda to maintain it. The practice continues to this day after being started in the 15th century by the Queen Shin Sawbu (Binnya Thau), who gave her weight in gold.
There are four entrances, each leading up a flight of steps to the platform on Singuttara Hill. A pair of giant leogryphs guards each entrance. The eastern and southern approaches have vendors selling books, good luck charms, images of the Buddha, candles, gold leaf, incense sticks, prayer flags, streamers, miniature umbrellas and flowers.
It is customary to circumnavigate Buddhist stupas in a clockwise direction. In accordance with this principle, one may begin at the eastern directional shrine, which houses a statue of Kakusandha, the first Buddha of the present kalpa. Next, at the southern directional shrine, is a statue of the second Buddha, Koṇāgamana. Next, at the western directional shrine, is that of the third Buddha, Kassapa. Finally, at the northern directional shrine, is that of the fourth Buddha, Gautama
Historians and archaeologists maintain that the pagoda was built by the Mon people between the 6th and 10th centuries AD. However, according to legend, the Shwedagon Pagoda was constructed more than 2,600 years ago, which would make it the oldest Buddhist stupa in the world. According to tradition, Tapussa and Bhallika — two merchant brothers from the north of Singuttara Hill what is currently Yangon met the Lord Gautama Buddha during his lifetime and received eight of the Buddha's hairs. The brothers returned to Burma and, with the help of the local ruler, King Okkalapa, found Singuttara Hill, where relics of other Buddhas preceding Gautama Buddha had been enshrined. When the king opened the golden casket in which the brothers had carried the hairs, incredible things happened:
“There was a tumult among men and spirits ... rays emitted by the Hairs penetrated up to the heavens above and down to hell ... the blind beheld objects ... the deaf heard sounds ... the dumb spoke distinctly ... the earth quaked ... the winds of the ocean blew ... Mount Meru shook ... lightning flashed ... gems rained down until they were knee deep ... all trees of the Himalayas, though not in season, bore blossoms and fruit.”
The stupa fell into disrepair until the 14th century, when King Binnya U rebuilt it to a height of 18 meter. A century later, Queen Binnya Thau raised its height to 40 meter. She terraced the hill on which it stands, paved the top terrace with flagstones, and assigned land and hereditary slaves for its maintenance. Binnya Thau yielded up the throne to her son-in-law Dhammazedi in 1472, retiring to Dagon. During her last illness she had her bed placed so that she could look upon the gilded dome of the stupa. The Mon face of the Shwedagon inscription catalogues a list of repairs beginning in 1436 and finishing during Dhammazedi's reign. By the beginning of the 16th century, Shwedagon Pagoda had become the most famous Buddhist pilgrimage site in Burma.
