The empty capital that no one travels to
You will not believe if you hear that there is a city and a capital completely devoid of life, population and cars, with the availability of the best infrastructure, services, urbanization and all means of life, luxury and a workable environment
You have to believe because it already exists, and it is the new administrative capital of the State of Myanmar, which is the city of Nayipdol, which we will tell you its strange and strange story and how it came to this tragic end to this date and remains empty.
Created story:
After the leader Danshui assumed power, he believed and was convinced by superstitions and astrologers, as they told him about the interpretation that the old capital, if he continued with it, would be subjected to aggression and destruction, and it would become a capital devoid of life, and his kingdom would disappear, so he decided to move it and build a new administrative capital in the jungles of Myanmar away from the coast
At the end of the nineties and the beginning of the two thousandths, he brought about 25 major international contracting companies that were hired to implement this huge project, which is equal in area six times the city of New York, and allocated a cost of 4 billion dollars for this huge project and it was implemented in the highest style and with great specifications that almost make it the most ideal administrative capital in the world .
Description and contents of the city:
The city was established with a capacity to accommodate one million people, at a rate of 164 people per kilometer. It consists of contents and specifications as follows:
1/ Residential villages scattered in the bush, each village consists of 5-20 buildings, and the total buildings do not represent 10%
2/ The Presidential Palace has 100 rooms
3 / Parliament complex consists of 31 buildings surrounded by trenches from all directions and it can be crossed from 3 bridges
4/ The ministries buildings were all built identical in appearance
5 / Hotels are built on the hills of the city
6/ The streets are beautiful and wide, as its streets are among the widest in the world, with 20 lanes for cars, and the street can be used as a helipad.
7/ The largest zoo in the country was built and established
8/ The roofs of the houses were colored according to the type of employees, for example, the blue buildings for the employees of the Ministry of Health, and the green ones for the employees of the Ministry of Agriculture, and on that pattern
9/ The buildings were provided with shelters and underground escape tunnels to make the city and the capital empty in the event of wars and disasters
The story of abandoning this city:
After the completion of the implementation of this huge project with all its services and escorts, the leader announced the transfer of the capital in the year 2005 AD, and all ministries and employees were transferred in the year 2006 AD, and it was named the Royal City of the Sun.
But the employees were not allowed to move their families to live with them, and this is one of the most important reasons that made the residents of this city among the employees difficult for them to adapt to this situation away from their families. In addition, the place is very lonely and far from the main cities in the middle of the jungles of Myanmar, which makes it an unsuitable environment for living
Gradually, residents and employees were withdrawing from this city, in addition to the lack of consent of many employees on scholarships from other cities to come and work in the empty and desolate city and capital and leave their families, although the dictatorial leader used many means of pressure reaching the prison, but the matter did not work and the capital became empty until our date. Projects fail despite their luxury and great infrastructure.
