Seated Buddha statue within the Botataung Paya Rangoon Burma Myanmar. Yangon (also known as Rangoon) is the largest city and a former capital of Burma. Although the military government has officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw since March 2006, Yangon, with a population of four million, continues to be the country's largest city and the most important commercial center. Yangon's infrastructure is relatively undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in Southeast Asia. Yangon 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 in the past two decades, most satellite towns that ring the city continue to be deeply impoverished. Botahtaung Pagoda (also spelt Botataung; literally "1000 military officers") is a famous pagoda located in downtown Yangon, Yangon Division, Burma. It was built during the time period Shwedagon Pagoda was built, and was originally known as Kyaik-de-att in Mon. The pagoda is hollow within and houses a sacred hair of Gautama Buddha. Botahtaung Pagoda was rebuilt after it was completely destroyed during World War II, and is located near the Yangon River.
