    "Callaway Palace, also known as the Boat, is another iconic attraction in Myanmar's Royal Lake Park in Yangon, Myanmar's capital. But this is not the palace, but a restaurant that caters to important guests."
    Highlights: Callaway Palace is one of the iconic local attractions. The building as a whole is a bird-shaped boat floating in the lake. The exterior is resplendent and the interior is luxuriously decorated. It looks resplendent in the daytime, and brightly lit at night with gorgeous reflections. From the Royal Lake, you can see the gorgeous sunset in Yangon, the afterglow of the sunset is reflected in the lake, and the colorful clouds are rippling on the lake, which is very beautiful. In the evening, you can watch local folk dance performances and puppet shows in the palace, and you can also enjoy the buffet here, but it should be noted that you need to book in advance.

    "Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar, is also the largest and most developed city in Myanmar. When I came here, I felt that I was really in the city for the first time. It was too traffic jam! The best and most developed place for Yangon city construction should be around Yangon City Hall, and there is also a shopping mall area. There are quite a lot of Chinese in Yangon, and I have met many Chinese in shopping malls, and some come here to do business."
    Highlights: The Yangon City Hall, built in 1936, is the office of the Yangon City Development Committee. The City Hall is located in the center of Yangon. There are many important buildings in Yangon such as the Sule Jinta, Mahabandura Park and the General Post Office near the City Hall. The architectural style of Yangon City Hall combines colonial-style buildings and Burmese-style roofs. The roof is recognized as a model of Burmese architecture due to its traditional structure of "Paya Pagoda".
