COX BAZAR IN BANGLADESH

Golden sands, miles after miles, overlooked by genteel . cliffs and awash with foaming waves, colourful conch shells, ponderous pagodas, delicious seafood - this is Cox's Bazar. The sea-side tourist township of Bangladesh boasting the world's longest (120 km.) beach sloping gently down into the blue water of the Bay of Bengal - Cox's Bazar is one of the most attractive tourist spots of the country.

North of Cox's Bazar is Chittagong and the hill districts of Bandarban and Khagrachhari, to the east is Myanmar, to the west and south is the Bay of BengaL.

Ancient name of Cox's Bazar was Bakolia. Midseventeenth's name was PENGWA. The Rakhyne word PENGWA means yellow flower. Burmese King Monwaing attacked Cox's Bazar in 1784. He killed the Arakanese King Thamada and took control of Arakanese Kingdom. 

After taking control of Arakan, he continued the persecution of the Rakhyne community. As a result, majority of the Arakenese left the area to take shelter in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and Patuakhali. The Government of the East India Company appointed Captain Hiram Cox as Superintendent and sent him to rehabilitate the Arakanese refugees. On arrival there in 1799, he defeated the Burmese king in a battle and rehabilitated the Arakanese refugees. After the war, he set up a bazar (market) in that place which was named as Cox's Bazar after him.

The sleepy township at the head of a 120 km. long beach with lines of fancy shops on either sides of Cox's Bazar main road, calm and peaceful Khyangs and Pagodas, Rakhyne quarters, fish harbour of Kostura Ghat, the sights of the rising sun behind the hills and setting of it into the Bay of Bengal - all together giv~s the aura of a fairy land - a tourist paradise.

I hope you travel it.
