Karaweik (Burmese: ကရဝိက် ဖောင် [kəɹəweɪʔ pʰàʊɰ̃]) or Karaweik Hall is a structure and landmark on the eastern shore of Kandawgyi Lake, Yangon, Burma.
The word karaweik comes from Pali karavika (ကရဝီက), which is a mythical bird with a melodious cry.
The structure commissioned by General Ne Win, who was inspired by a Burmese pavilion displayed at the Expo '70 in Osaka, which in turn was modeled after the Pyigyimon royal barge used by Mandalay’s royal court (read more).
