Work is expected to begin in July on a multi-million dollar project to transform the area around Kandawgyi Lake into a world-class park featuring a cable car, walking trails, fountain, boat club, museum and other recreational and educational facilities. Approval for the project, initiated in March by the Yangon Division Peace and Development Council, was approved in early April by Secretary of the State Peace and Development Council, General Khin Nyunt.
The project area, covering 230 acres, will be developed in four zones, including upgrades to existing facilities. The design should be completed in mid-June and the project is expected to be completed in two years.
