Belmopan is the capital of the Central American country of Belize, located in the center of the country on the banks of the Belize River, about 80 kilometers from the old capital, Belize City. One of the world's youngest capitals, the city was officially moved here in 1981 after Belize's independence to avoid the risk of frequent hurricanes in Belize City. The city is about 76 meters above sea level and is surrounded by tropical rainforests with a warm and humid climate and an average annual temperature of about 26°C. The city has been designed to be an ideal place to live and work. Belmopan is modernly planned, blending Mayan cultural elements with natural ecology, and is surrounded by rich natural resources such as the nearby Blue Hole National Park, Mayan ruins and wildlife sanctuaries, making it a gateway city for exploring Belize's nature and history and culture.
