The capital city of Burma, officially known as Myanmar, is Naypyidaw. Established as the capital in 2005, Naypyidaw was developed to replace Yangon (formerly Rangoon) as the administrative center. The city features wide avenues, government buildings, and designated zones for residential and other purposes, reflecting its planning as a new capital. Naypyidaw is notable for its low population density and its large, organized layout. Despite its official status, the city is less populated than Yangon, which remains the country's largest city and a major economic hub with significant historical and cultural attractions.
