Yangon at a glance
Yangon, sometimes romanised in English as Rangoon, is the capital city of the Yangon Region and the largest city of Myanmar. Yangon was the capital of Myanmar until 2005 and served as such until 2006, when the military government relocated the administrative functions to the purpose-built capital city of Naypyidaw in north central Myanmar. On WNDER, Yangon reads as endless tropical summer — strongest in year-round.
