Karaweik (
Burmese:
ကရဝိက် ဖောင် [kəɹəweɪʔ pʰàʊɴ]) or
Karaweik Hall is a palace on the eastern shore of
Kandawgyi Lake,
Yangon,
Burma. The barge was designed by Burmese architect U Ngwe Hlaing, who based it on the Pyigyimon royal barge. Construction began in June 1972 and it was finished in October 1974. The barge is a two-storied construction of
concrete and
stucco, reinforced by iron rods, with a
pyatthat-topped roof, two reception halls and a conference room. It houses a
buffet restaurant today. The building served as inspiration for the creation of the
Wu-Tang logo.
