In order to attract more tourists, a mini-zoo has been set up at the entrance of the Foy's Lake.

.: Ramu
The great ancient evidence of King Ashok
Ramu is a typical Buddhist village, about 10 km from Cox's Bazar, on the main road to Chittagong. The village has a number of colourful pagodas and Khyangs and monasteries where one can see icons and statues of Buddha in gold, bronze and other metals inlaid with precious stones. One of these pagodas on the Baghkhali River houses a 13 feet tall bronze status of Buddha that rests a six feet high pedestal. The pagoda also contains some interesting relics and rare Burmese handicraft. | ||

Weavers ply their trade in open workshops and craftsmen make handmade cigars in their pagoda like houses. Ramu, is still virtually standing very old and beautiful Ramkut temple as a great ancient evidence of the King Ashok. And this temple was established in all likelihood in 308 before Christ. |
