How big is Myanmar
What size is Myanmar?Myanmar's empty capitol is four time bigger than London.
Myanmar's capitol, Naypyidaw, is 7,054 sq km, about four and a half of what London is (1,569 sq km), according to The Independent. However, the hometown is a haunted one. Myanmar's capitol was relocated from Yangon to Naypyitaw (the king's seat) by the former army in November 2005.
It is said to have taken 4 billion dollars (3.2 billion pounds) to build the town, with 20-lane motorways and broad roads laid out for a bright and expanding world. Despite billion-dollar investments by the Chinese authorities, however, the town has had trouble attracting local people or a considerable number of visitors. GoDardian reporter, who came to the town in March 2015, said:
