The Clock Tower Museum occupies the top four floors of the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, the central pillar of the Abraj Al-Bait complex overlooking the Grand Mosque. Its focus is the intersection of faith and science, using interactive exhibits and advanced technology to explore timekeeping, the Hijri calendar and astronomy from an Islamic perspective. The journey culminates on the open observation deck, which provides a breathtaking, unparalleled aerial view of the Kaaba and the entire mosque complex from over 400 metres, a perspective unique to this museum.

This building once served as the Communist Party headquarters during the regime of Enver Hoxha. From its balcony, Hoxha would wave to the crowds during official parades and demonstrations. Today, in addition to its primary function as the residence and office of the Albanian Prime Minister, it stands as a reminder of Albania's totalitarian past and is a significant landmark in Tirana.

Not far from Huaisheng Mosque lies Temple of the Six Banyan Trees. This temple was originally built in AD 537 and has been rebuilt several times. It is one of the four best Buddhist temples in Guangzhou. The sight is well worth a visit because of its vast collection of cultural-relics and the 57-meter-high pagoda garden that dates back to the 3rd century.
