Burma / Myanmar: Map of Rangoon (Yangon), Baedeker,1914

Yangon, also known as Rangoon (literally: 'End of Strife') is a former capital of Burma (Myanmar) and the capital of Yangon Region (formerly Yangon Division). Although the military government officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw in March 2006, Yangon, with a population of over four million, continues to be the country's largest city and the most important commercial centre. Yangon's infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in Southeast Asia. Yangon also has the largest number of colonial buildings in Southeast Asia today. While many high-rise residential and commercial buildings have been constructed or renovated throughout downtown and Greater Yangon, most satellite towns that ring the city continue to be deeply impoverished.
