Chittagong is the second largest city in Bangladesh and is the country’s main seaport. It’s located in the south east of the country and is one of Bangladesh’s main tourist destinations.
Chittagong Ethnological Museum
The only ethnological museum in Bangladesh is situated here in Chittagong and it features a very interesting collection focusing on the different ethnic groups of Bangladesh. The village mock-ups showing village life for different ethnicities are a popular part of the museum.
Another of Chittagong’s museums is the Zia Memorial Museum which commemorates the life of the late President Ziaur Rahman who was assassinated in 1981.
Patenga Beach
Patenga Beach is one of Chittagong’s most popular spots but it doesn’t attract visitors for the usual reasons. Swimming isn’t advised here, but it’s a scenic place to come and get away from the city especially at sunrise and sunset because both are said to be spectacular. There are restaurants and kiosks so you can stay for lunch or dinner.
Foy’s Lake
The man-made Foy’s Lake was created in 1924 and is again a picturesque place outside of the city centre. The lake can be enjoyed on boat rides, plus there are nice walking trails around it. The area has also been developed into a theme park with water rides, other rides, amusements and entertainment. Right next door to Foy’s Lake is Chittagong Zoo.
Shaheed Zia Memorial Complex and Mini Bangladesh
Another popular attraction is the heritage park at the Shaheed Zia Memorial Complex. This includes Mini Bangladesh which features replicas of all the major buildings in the country such as Lalbagh Fort. There’s also a tower that stands 71 metres high and has a revolving restaurant on the top.
