Loading...Chandpur is famous for the national fish Hilsa of Bangladesh. Chandpur is therefore called the ‘home of Hilsa’. The city of Chandpur is one of the most famous places in the world, but the ideal place to watch the sunset is the Boro Station, which is the confluence of the Padma-Meghna-Dakatia. Which is also known as Molhead. The rivers can be easily recognized by seeing the color of the water from a distance. The orange sun is slowly setting, the sky is a little dark, small boats are floating a little farther away, the melodious sound of the current is ringing in your ears, the chirping of the birds returning home is all around, this scene seems to beat the heavenly scene.
