| This former capital was known by its colonial era name Rangoon until 1989 when the ruling military regime changed it back to Yangon, meaning 'end of strife'. Even after the government relocated its capital to Nay Pyi Daw in 2006, Yangon still remains the largest and most important commercial and intellectual city, not to mention the most exciting, within Burma (Myanmar). |
