Naypyitaw, formerly known as Pyinmana (Burmese), was officially named on the Military Day in 2006. Located in the mountainous area of central Myanmar, 400 kilometers north of Yangon, it is the capital of Myanmar.

It's time to move the capital.

Without any warning in advance, the Burmese military government suddenly ordered many departments to move within one day from June 6 to1October 6, 2005. General Jue Shan, Minister of Information Department, confirmed that he had moved to the capital the next day (165438+20051October 7).

According to the BBC, in fact, Myanmar's military government has begun to pay special attention to this area in the past few years, and started large-scale construction about 12 months ago. Therefore, it is believed that Myanmar's military government began planning this plan to move the capital several years ago, but it has never been announced to the public.

3. The purpose of moving the capital

According to reports, it is believed that the main purpose of the Myanmar government's move to the capital is that Yangon is located by the sea, which is more conducive to preventing maritime invasion and controlling powerful ethnic minorities such as Qin, Karen, Kaye and Shan. According to the BBC, when they moved to the capital, no one could bring their families, and many unmarried bachelors were ordered by the military government to move there.

4. Infrastructure

According to government sources, the new government building complex is located in a valley, covering an area of about 65,438+00 square kilometers, surrounded by mountains and dense forests, and 30 kilometers away from the nearest town. According to the blueprint, it will include the Prime Minister's residence, parliament building, airport, hospital, medium-sized hydropower station, golf course, hotel, and 40 buildings with 500 bureaucrats each for use by various departments. There is also a military building with a military headquarters and a bunker.
