Visakhapatnam
Imagine golden beaches
that stretch as far as your imagination, green hills rising high on the
other side, a city thriving on modern industry and commerce in the
midst. Add to the scenario a generous mix of ancient Buddhist heritage,
geological wonders, famous temples, inviting culture and mesmerizing
arts & crafts. Visakhapatnam will better your imagination with all
of these and more. It is a city keeping pace with the times, even while
preserving its rich past. It is a city painted with industrial
revolution, even as it retains its colours of nature. Welcome to one of
the most beautiful imprints of civilization on the Indian soil -
Visakhapatnam (popularly known as Vizag).
The
second largest city of Andhra Pradesh and one of the fastest growing
cities in Asia. Once a small fishing village, the city today is a busy
port endowed with a natural harbor. A number of major industries, ship
building yard, a mega oil refinery, a massive steel and power plant make
Vizag one of the modern faces of India. However, all the industrial
progress of Vizag has taken place in the midst of the awe-inspiring
Eastern Ghats on one side and the blue waters of Bay of Bengal on the
other, giving the city a magical touch.
