It's been a while since this photo was taken. It was taken 7 years ago, around 2018. The hidden lake above Pindaya was taken from the Golden Cave Pagoda elevator. There have been many changes during this time. The lake is neat and tidy, and it is the symbol of the city. The locals tell visitors about this lake, which was dug by King Alaungsithu.
