Naypyidaw, Capital city in central Myanmar.
The administrative center spans over 7,000 square kilometers, featuring wide boulevards, identical government housing blocks, and ministerial complexes across its territory.
Military authorities relocated Myanmar's capital from Yangon to Naypyidaw in November 2005, using 1,100 army trucks to transport government offices.
The Uppatasanti Pagoda, completed in 2009, functions as the central religious structure of Naypyidaw, replicating the dimensions of Yangon's Shwedagon Pagoda.
Government workers in Naypyidaw receive continuous electricity and water supply, distinguishing the city from other Myanmar locations with intermittent services.
The city maintains a grid system of 20-lane highways connecting administrative zones, yet these extensive roads remain largely empty throughout the day.
