Dala Township (Burmese: ဒလမြို့နယ်, pronounced [dəla̰ mjo̰nɛ̀]) is located on the southern bank of Yangon river across from downtown Yangon, Myanmar. The township, made up of 23 wards and 23 village tracks (including 50 villages), is bounded by the Yangon River in the north and east, the Twante Canal in the west, and Kawhmu Township in the south. The township's northern portion, the former town of Dala comprising an area of 5.59 square miles (14.5 km2) is within the jurisdiction of Yangon city's government the Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC), though locals consider Dala a separate urban area. Dala has many differences from Yangon, ones being prices and architecture.
