Nestled along Shenzhen’s coastline, the Mangrove Nature Reserve is a peaceful retreat and a crucial stop for migratory birds travelling the East Asia-Australasia Flyway. The park’s serene surroundings make it a perfect spot for nature lovers, especially birdwatchers hoping to catch glimpses of over 200 species of migratory birds, including rare sightings like the black-faced spoonbill. But this place isn’t just for wildlife enthusiasts—locals love to visit on weekends for a different kind of escape. With its scenic sea views, the park is often filled with families and groups playing cards, enjoying picnics, or simply unwinding by the water.

Día de la Comunidad Valenciana, which commemorates the liberation of the city from the Moors, brings along one of the most peculiar and charming Valencian traditions. In a kind of “alternative Valentine’s day”, men give their loved ones a special gift of marzipan figurines of fruits and vegetables wrapped in a silk scarf known as the mocadora.

Västervik's hospital, opened in 1912, was established due to the acute need for psychiatric care facilities. The hospital functioned as a self-contained community, housing approximately 1,400 patients and 900 staff at its peak. It was a closed world, now revealed at the Psychiatric Museum. The museum is housed in a former ward restored to its original condition. Visitors can take a guided tour to learn about the care practices during the hospital's operational days. The museum also features photographs from that era. In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are several smaller events organized each year.
