Join us as we explore the enigmatic city of Naypyidaw, Myanmar's purpose-built capital that remains an urban enigma. Once touted as a symbol of progress, this sprawling metropolis is now often referred to as a 'Ghost City'. But what's the real story behind its deserted streets and silent boulevards?
In this documentary, we delve into the history of Naypyidaw, a city four times the size of London, with 20-lane highways and grandiose buildings, yet eerily devoid of the bustling life one would expect in a capital city. We uncover the reasons behind its sparse population and the surreal atmosphere that pervades its landscape.
From its inception as the 'Seat of the King' to its current state, we interview locals, urban planners, and historians to piece together the puzzle of Naypyidaw. Why was it built in the middle of rice paddies and sugar-cane fields? Why does it seem so out of place in one of Southeast Asia's poorest countries? And most importantly, why does it appear abandoned?
Discover the answers to these questions and more as we take you through the wide, empty streets of Naypyidaw by day, and reveal the hidden life that emerges in its markets and motorbike-filled streets by night. Witness the contrast between the city's intended grandeur and its actual, lived reality.
