Chittagong, Port metropolis in Chattogram District, Bangladesh.

The population of more than 5.2 million residents includes Muslims, Hindus, Christians, and Buddhists, each maintaining their religious practices and traditions.

Shah Amanat International Airport connects the city with major destinations while buses, rickshaws, and taxis provide transportation within the urban area.

The Chittagong Tea Auction, established in 1949, remains a central marketplace for tea trading in Bangladesh.
