ပြည်သူ့ဥယျာဉ် — Attraction in Yangon

This has been one of the landmark of Yangon since late 90s. In 90s, part of the place offers public swimming pool and water slide on U Wisara side of the road.

This park stretches over 130 acres and is surrounded by the Shwedagon Pagoda and the Parliament building. There is a small museum showcasing miniature models of nationalities in their colorful dress and flora and fauna. Besides, there is a restaurant serving Myanmar and European Food. All of those things combined make the park an ideal relaxation spot for families and usually crowded during...
