Yangon is the capital city of Myanmar (also known as Burma). Yangon was expanded from the small town of Dagon in 1755 by King Alaungpaya. King Alaungpaya, who ruled the northern land, gradually took over the southern lands and renamed Dagon into Yangon meaning the End of Conflicts. Under the British rule, Yangon was turned into a busy commercial port, which nowadays handles 90% of Myanmar's exports and imports. The port is on the Yangon River and is 32km from the Elephant Point on the Gulf of Martaban.
