Separated by a tributary of the Ganges, lies the cleanest city in Bangladesh

Rajshahi, adjacent to India across the Padma River. The Padma River is the largest river in Bangladesh and a tributary of the Ganges. When the river floods, it can rise several meters, even overflowing the embankments, causing Rajshahi to lose a lot of land. Bangladesh, the land of fruits, boasts jackfruit, mango, and lychee as its three main fruits, with jackfruit being the national fruit. Rajshahi, the city of mangoes, is dotted with mango orchards, accounting for 80% of the national production. Mangoes ripen here all year round, with the fragrance of fruit in the air on one side and the blossoming of new fruit on the other. Visiting Rajshahi, of course, one must eat the naturally ripened mangoes in the orchards. Watching the locals quickly climb up the mango trees and shake the branches, causing a batch of mangoes to fall to the ground, is truly a delicious experience. Rajshahi, a city of universities. Rajshahi College, established in 1873, is one of the earliest universities in Bangladesh, with some of its buildings featuring distinct British colonial architectural styles. Rajshahi University is even more astonishingly large, covering about 1/5 of the entire city area, contributing greatly to the birth of Bangladesh. The Varendra Research Museum, built in 1910, is the earliest museum in the Bengal region, originally established for archaeology and now managed by Rajshahi University. Rajshahi is also a city of silk. The production of silk here can be traced back to the 13th century, and there are now 6 silk factories, with Sopura being one of the larger ones, employing over two thousand workers. The factories located within the city are open for tours, where visitors can observe the entire process from cocoon to spinning, weaving, designing, and dyeing. The Padma River, rushing towards the Ganges, has also washed away much of Rajshahi's past.
