Stretching 250 metres long and 4 metres wide, Chung Ying Street is one of the most fascinating places to cross from Hong Kong into Shenzhen’s Shekou town. One side of the street belongs to Hong Kong, while the other is in Mainland China—standing in the middle feels like a unique step between two worlds. The Chung Ying Street Historical Museum offers a deep dive into the history behind this border crossing. For those looking to shop, the street is a popular tax-free zone. However, it's important to be cautious as counterfeit goods are known to circulate here. A special permit is required to access the street.

Situated within the Hira Cultural District, the Museum of the Holy Quran is the first of its kind in Mecca, dedicated to the history and physical tradition of the Islamic scripture. Its collection features rare manuscripts, including a photographed copy of the Uthman ibn Affan mushaf, and displays record-holding items like the world's largest Quran. The museum employs interactive technology to trace the Quran's journey from early transcriptions on materials like palm leaves to modern printed editions.

Spanning the majestic Danube River, the Széchenyi Chain Bridge stands as an iconic symbol of the city's grandeur and architectural prowess. Completed in 1849, it was the first permanent bridge to connect the Buda and Pest sides of the city. Designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and later modified by Scottish engineer Adam Clark, the bridge's chain-link structure and ornate stone lions guarding its entrances evoke a sense of timeless elegance and pride. The lions guarding the bridge are also connected to the first suicide that happened here, committed by their architect upon the realisation that he had forgotten about the tongues of the animals.
