My immediate thought was Harlech but the longer I look at it the less I'm sure.

Now just where is this magnificent beast located and what is it dedicated to?
I give it about 10 minutes for the answer to appear!

It lasted 38 minutes - that must be a record!!     L0L

Of course, you're correct!  And it is replicated at Waterloo Station in London.       $uk

Paddy and Yorkie,  you can have one point each, because it is used as a restaurant.... but its not in Amsterdam or China.

It is a much larger structure than The Dragon Boat, and has a rich history to it.

Yangon, Myanmar or as previously known Rangoon, Burma.

Karaweik Hall
The floating Karaweik Restaurant on Kandawgyi (Royal) Lake is one of the landmarks of Yangon. This modern architecture of a mythical creature Karaweik Hall was constructed in 1972. This whole building was gilded with gold about 20 years ago. Karaweik Hall will serve lunch and dinner with Myanmar, Chinese, Eastern and Western cuisine at moderate prices. It is also an excellent idea to examine the beauty of this royal barge and the stunning view of the Shwedagon. Traditional dance performances are normally held here in the evenings.
