Hidden between the mountains and the Yangtze River, the Fengdu Ghost City reflects Chinese views on afterlife. As a tribute to the ancestors, you can find Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian sculptures and carvings in any of the more than 27 temples. The view of the Three Gorges from the top of the mountain is also worth a visit.

This impressive building, known as the Villa Méditerranée, was designed in 2013. It boasts sleek modern architecture and an impressive cantilevered section that looms over an artificial pool. Inside, you can enjoy exhibitions that cover both marine life and local history. In June 2022, a new exhibit was presented to the visitors — a replica of the famous Cosquer Cave, in an atmosphere similar to that of the original, that has been submerged since the 90s. You get to explore the 1,750-square-metre replica aboard a comfortable exploratory vehicle and learn about the Homo sapiens that lived in the cave 30,000 years ago. See the engravings, paintings, speleothems, handprints and geological features that have been reproduced for public viewing in the most realistic and scientifically rigorous manner.

There is much to discover in Historic Garmisch. Walk along Frühlingsstraße and the nearby alleys and listen to the histories told by the famous "Lüftl" paintings on the houses' facades, in which you will understand them even if you do not know any Bavarian. A nice detour leads you to the “Alte Kirche” (Old Church), which is a nice Romanesque-Gothic church dating back to the 13th century.
