About Naypyidaw
Myanmar's mysterious capital rises inland from nowhere—an entirely planned city built to replace the colonial Yangon as seat of military power. Massive monuments dominate empty boulevards while ministries occupy futuristic compounds creating an eerie sense of governmental grandeur amid sparse civilian life. This is Asia's most unusual capital, revealing regime priorities and architecture obsessions.
