YANGON, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Kandawgyi Lake is one of two major lakes in the center of Yangon in Myanmar. With many trees lining the outer edge of the lake and the Karaweik landmark floating on the lake's surface on the eastern shore, reflecting traditional Burmese architecture, the area is a nice place to go for local residents.
