Overview of Levay, Myanmar
Located on the western coast of Rakhine State in Myanmar, Levay is the main town on the island of Langley, on the eastern shore of the Bay of Bengal. Historically, it served as an important port for the Rakhine Kingdom, and Portuguese colonizers established a trading post here in the 16th and 17th centuries, leaving behind colonial-era buildings such as the old city wall and the Portuguese fort.
Geography and Resources
Levay is surrounded by rich marine and forestry resources, and its economy is based on fishing, wood processing and a small amount of agriculture. The area is known for its traditional artisanal shipbuilding industry, and retains distinctive Rakhine cultural practices. Beach tourism potential has been gradually developed in recent years, but infrastructure remains weak.
Modern Development and Challenges
Affected by the ethnic conflict in Rakhine State, Raiwai has lagged behind in terms of development and relies heavily on sea and limited land connections for transportation. As a remote coastal town in Myanmar, it has potential tourism value in terms of its historical and cultural heritage and natural coastal landscape, but needs a stable social environment to support sustainable development.
