Myanmar Capital City: Naypyidaw is also spelled as Nay Pyi Taw.
Naypyidaw is the national capital of Myanmar (Burma), located in
Pyinmana Township, Mandalay Division. Naypyidaw is 320
kilometres away from north of Yangon. On 6 November 2005, the
administrative capital of Myanmar was officially moved to
Naypyidaw. As of 2009, the population was 1 Million, which makes
it Myanmar’s third largest city, behind Yangon and Mandalay.
Naypyidaw is one of the world’s 10 fastest-growing cities. Nay
Pyi Daw is generally translated as “royal capital”, “seat of the
king” or “abode of kings”. Traditionally, it was used as a
suffix to the names of royal capitals, such as Mandalay, which
was called Yadanabon Naypyidaw. The name literally means “royal
city of the sun” in Burmese.
