Chittagong, commercial capital of Bangladesh has a busy International Seaport and an Airport. Its green hills, spacious sandy beach and elegant cool climate always attraet the holiday-makers.
Described by the Chinese traveler - poet, Huen Tsang (7th century AD) as "a sleeping beauty emerging from mists and water" and given the title of "Porto Grande" by the 6th century Portuguese seafarers, Chittagong remains true to both the descriptions even today. Chittagong is the country's staple port and is the main site for the establishment of heavy, medium and light industries.
Shah Amanat International Airport, the second largest, has been newly constructed on the exquisite seashore of Patenga.
