National Kandawgyi Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden in Pyin Oo Lwin, Myanmar.
The National Kandawgyi Gardens spans 177 hectares at 1000 meters elevation, featuring 514 indigenous tree species, 74 foreign species, and 75 types of bamboo.
Charlotte Isabel Wheeler-Cuffe established the gardens in 1915, modeling them after Kew Gardens in England while working with forest research officer Alex Rodger.
The garden hosts an annual flower festival since 2006, displaying thousands of flowers and drawing approximately 400,000 visitors each year since its 2001 reopening.
The gardens operate daily from 8 AM to 6 PM with an entrance fee of 5 USD for international visitors, including access to three museums and wildlife areas.
Turkish prisoners of war constructed Butler Lake during World War I, which now contains swans, ducks, carp, and koi fish within the garden grounds.
