Here, you can enjoy the natural scenery along the Bay of Bengal and see the distant sails dotting the sea surface. The temple founded by the monk U Ottama, who led the independence movement in Myanmar, is another well-known attraction in the area, with a history of over a hundred years and important exhibits showcasing the heroic deeds of the national hero U Ottama.

The sacred pagoda believed to have been built during the reign of King Ashoka, the Rakhine State Cultural Museum, bustling handicraft markets, and the magnificent Buddhist Museum are all great places to explore the history, culture, and art of Rakhine State and Sittwe.
