Myanmar’s mystery capital to be revealed
Once off-limits to tourists, the administrative capital of Myanmar, Nay Pyi Taw, is now being marketed as a destination for international travellers.
Nay Pyi Taw, located about 320 kilometres north of Yangon, is preparing for an influx of visitors as Myanmar hosts the SEA Games later this year and moves to the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations next year.
New package tours offer sightseeing in the capital and surrounding areas, the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism said.
Both houses of parliament and the head offices of all ministries are located in Nay Pyi Taw.
Many buildings in the capital remain under construction. Its landmarks include a replica of Shwedagon Pagoda, Uppatasanti Pagoda, which includes a Buddha tooth relic from China.
