Naypyidaw

Naypyidaw is the capital city of Myanmar, officially known as Burma. It was built in the early 2000s to replace Yangon as the political and administrative center. Located centrally within the country, Naypyidaw features wide roads, spacious government buildings, and government-controlled zones. Its design emphasizes security and government functions, with less congestion compared to Yangon. The city also includes residential areas, parks, and infrastructure aimed at serving government officials and employees. Despite its strategic importance, Naypyidaw remains relatively quiet and less populated compared to Myanmar's largest city, Yangon.
