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.
