Timeline
08:00
Walk through the National Kandawgyi Gardens. The grounds open at 08:00, making this the quietest time to see the rose garden, the stupa in the pond, and the orchid collection without the midday rush.
09:30
Head to bamboo cafe & restaurant for lunch. It is a nine-minute walk from the gardens and stays open until 20:00, so you can take your time with a meal in the afternoon sun.
10:00
Stop by the National Landmarks Garden nearby. This short walk away features large models of Burma’s landmarks. While generally straightforward, keep an eye out for the unique touch of oil wells placed among the line of stupas.
Local tip
The gardens are a popular spot for locals, so arriving at opening time gives you the best chance to enjoy the serene atmosphere and diverse flora before it gets busy.
