The outstanding natural beauty I witnessed at Sonargaon. *Sonargaon is significant for its historical evidence and is one of the popular tourist spots in Bangladesh. This place was the old capital of the country and a river port. That makes it unique and stand out from the rest of the places.*

*First I would like to start with this huge lake that surrounds the whole place. This corner of the lake was so calm, reattached from the rest of the crowd. I spent a good amount of time there enjoying the birds chirping and the calm nature.* *It was the middle of the noon, and the weather was not favorable but this view got me to have a moment there.*

*Living in a mega city like Dhaka, I miss the huge green trees that I got to see here.*

*And then this place, another side of the lake. We rented the boat for $1.5 and it was a 20 minutes of exciting ride around the lake. The colorful boats were complementing the view.*

*The mango buds surprised me as it was not the season yet. The whole place was covered with buds.*

*This is the pond on the backside of the museum. There was a sitting place near the water and I loved spending some time there. I have heard that the pond gets covered with beautiful waterlilies during pick time.*

*Finally this beauty! In the ancient city, I found these wonderful sunflowers. As they are not native and we don't get to see many sunflowers often so it was quite a surprise.*

*And some dahlia to finish off our day. There were many small gardens all around the place, and a whole bunch of trees. So the visit would never get boring.*

*There's a huge museum, a folk festival, an ancient city, and all this free natural beauty! It was a bonus for me as I was not expecting to see such a unique nature in a suburban place like Sonargaon. I enjoyed my visit to Sonargaon. It was fun, exciting, and adventurous. The historical museum, the palace, the ancient city, and this beautiful nature made my day.* I would try to make another visit if I get the chance. Have a good day, everyone.
