The Lost Kingdom of Arakan!
Unified from the 15th century with Mrauk U as its capital and over 700 temples, the state of Arakan (now known as Rakhine State) was particularly prosperous thanks to its commercial links with India, Persia and also Portugal or the Netherlands. Attacked by the Burmese king Bodawpaya, the region passed under Burmese rule before being controlled by the British during the colonial period in the 19th century. Sittwe then becomes the main port of Burma. Rich, but strategic, the state has often been caught in conflict, but at the same time remains one of the most mysterious and captivating states to visit.
The south of the state also offers peaceful beaches with white sand and turquoise waters, including the most famous one: Ngapali.
