NAY PYI TAW: strangest city in the world (where is everyone!?) | Myanmar Travel

[@malsawmkima6226]

I'm from Mizoram, neighbour of Myanmar. And i think nay pyi taw is great! Greater than Kolkata where there are plenty of traffic jams, vehicle horn used as musical instruments and where there is no law. This city is next gen capil for Myanmar a plan city where everything has its place. And i love it.

[@harroldinab]

When the city becomes populated, traffic will be absolutely terrible. Building huge roads just induces demand for cars, which are the real problem. Cities should be built around pedestrians.

[@hannahkhin4938]

Nay Pyi Taw was build by the time when military ruled the country and the people who live in Nay Pyi Taw are either government officers or military officers . Burmese people never really consider it as a capital city . For locals , Yangon is still the capital city of Myanmar ❤️😊

[@RobandJenny]

We would agree having been to both places!

[@gatluakdeng7052]

This is one of a kind. I can feel the emptiness at the back of the screen here. But I love it.

[@RocketGruntJesus]

This looks so awesome I'd love a city with barely any people I live in NYC and I'm tired of people

[@MuhammadIamhardBrucelee]

Btw, the building you showed is the Parliament( called Hluttaw or something) not the Presidential Palace which is a different one without the domes and spires on top. And there is no queen or any Monarchy in Burma and hasn’t been one for 100 years 😀 They have a weird parliament dual House system with 25% appointed by the military and 75% elected in both Houses.

[@RobandJenny]

thanks for the info! We kept getting told off for stopping, so might have been filming the wrong building I suppose. Sounds like you are quite familiar with myanmar?

[@MuhammadIamhardBrucelee]

Rob & Jenny I don’t know about familiar but like you, I’ve visited Naypyidaw 😀. Spent a few days there. The ornate building is the parliament and there is a presidential palace building without all the domes. You are probably more familiar with it because you are covering more places like Hpu-An which I didn’t visit.😀 I spent most of my time in Yangon, Bagan and Mandalay along with Naypyidaw and Ngapali. The 4 week visa runs out fast in Burma. I’ve generally found the city to be quirky and weird and was later told it’s a city only the military and political people go. The junta built the whole city as the new capital only 15-20 years ago and moved everything there.

[@ng8554]

Whereever you go a scooty comes behind you. 😜. Nice vlog. Beautiful city. ❤️

[@RobandJenny]

😂😂 we love the freedom! Unfortunately in NayPyiTaw there is basically no other way around. Taxis are very expensive and distances are much too far to walk. 🛵

[@aloha1286]

Thank you for another wonderful video. You are right there isn't a whole lot of people up there. Mostly govt buildings. It was a capital created by the govt thru centralized planning. The govt moved the capital but the people stayed behind in Yangon. It is a weird feeling to see roads where no traffic flows. The opposite is true in the Yangon.

[@RobandJenny]

Haha. We have just arrived in Yangon, and we can see it is much busier! 😀

How can the capital of a country be empty even though it is new?😀 You had a really rare experience!😂

[@RobandJenny]

It is a very interesting place! Built from scratch and noone has moved there. It's so interesting if not quite odd.

[@MuhammadIamhardBrucelee]

The ruling junta built that city as the new capital between 2000-2006. Then they moved everything there from Yangon. It was off limits to regular people during the junta rule. So even now, regular people don’t bother going there. Apart from the odd tourists, it is full of military and political big wigs. It’s a pretty big city but unfortunately not many people. The place has nice hotels and restaurants but it doesn’t have the history and culture of Yangon or Mandalay.

Rob & Jenny They actually rented you one of the gas powered scooters? We were told foreigners can’t rent or drive motorized bikes or scooters in Burma and the only thing you can rent are those ebikes. This was in Bagan but I thought they had some kind of rule against renting motorcycles. Apparently not.

[@RobandJenny]

@@MuhammadIamhardBrucelee oh interesting! Maybe it's just in Bagan? Or maybe they did something naughty!

[@mpowerrr]

The landingstrip must be correct, thats also what I heard. Yangon is pretty much at the border of the country and this is in the middle of the country (Nowhere). And again today, militairy state. They are really suspicious about being invated. Maybe they never wanted a democracy and already planned everything till today. I was there in 2016. It was strange but also a very good and interesting experience.

There is a lot of information online about this city, in summary it was built as a vision for the future to build a mega city that was impressive for the country and be a central location for the country. However because there weren't that many people living there yet it is very quiet. Also some of the roads have allegedly been built to allow planes to land. But not sure if that's true.

Naypyidaw is certainly not the most interesting city in Burma. It’s a modern capital and doesn’t have much history like Yangon or Mandalay. It is ok to spend a couple of days there and that is it. It does have the Peace Pagoda, a botanical garden and zoo along with the Parliament building. The regular locals don’t go there and they say the only Burmese who visit there are military Generals and politicians. Must be a scary place for the locals they want to keep a distance from haha.
