Nay Pyi Taw, (Burmese: “Abode of Kings”) also spelled Nay
Pyi Daw or Naypyidaw, city, capital of Myanmar (Burma). Nay Pyi Taw was built
in the central basin of Myanmar in the early 21st century to serve as the
country’s new administrative centre. In 2004 construction of Nay Pyi Taw began
on an isolated site near the city of Pyinmana, some 200 miles (320 km) north of
the then capital city of Yangon (formerly Rangoon). Holding that relocation of
the capital would facilitate accessibility of the government from all parts of
the country, the administration began its move in 2005, first to Pyinmana and
then to Nay Pyi Taw, which was proclaimed the capital in March 2006.
