National Landmark Garden, Naypyidaw

If you happen to be in Naypyidaw for any reason and you've already visited Uppatasanti Pagoda and you still have time on your hands, head to the National Landmark Garden. It's an odd idea that was executed on a grand scale. The grounds are huge. Some of the exhibits are pretty, but it's mostly an overpriced curiosity for overseas visitors. Burmese visitors pay a lot less, so many of them use this as a day outing for the family.

Enterance fees: 1000-kyats/adult, 500-kyats/child (above 5_year), 10-USD/Foreigner. Touring taxi (one-hour tour): 1000-kyats/person, 5000-kyats/own_car+driver Tower lift: 200-kyats/person The place is like an abandoned amusement park! A lot of non-functional playing grounds! Simply just a map of Myanmar (check it on Google maps) small monumental buildings of Myanmar.

I would've liked to be able to wander around a bit more, but you are quickly scooped up and into a tour vehicle and driven to places at the driver and tour guide's discretion. There is a random log ride and even a haunted house throughout the "gardens." I think they had good intentions with this place, but the execution needs some revamping.

Landmark garden built in Naypyitaw, the country's new Capital where the goverment offices reside. It is one of the places to visit in Naypyitaw. You can go to the National landmark garden by car. It would take around 20 minutes to go there from the Thapyaygone market. It is situated near the old Yangon-Mandalay express way. It is situated just next to Army Museum. It offers a tower view from which you can see the surrounding area clearly. You can visit the landmarks miniature buildings and ethical houses of different races of Myanmar (Kachin,Kayah,Kayin,Chin,Burma,Mon,Rakkhine,Shan,etc). It is a good place for shooting photos. And you can take your kids for a trip together to nearby places.

Although a good place to visit with children, lack of maintenance. So many damages in the amusement park.
