Yu Garden embodies the quintessence of classical ancient Chinese gardens south of the Yangtze River – a creation of maximum out of minimum. While it takes a familiar person only five minutes to walk from the entrance to the exit, most first-time visitors find themselves lost in this little paradise with fish ponds, rockeries, plants, bridges, and buildings of various types arranged along zigzagging paths. The ingenious use of Chinese gardening art in combination with the garden’s 400-plus years of history makes Yu Garden one of the most popular tourist attractions in Shanghai.

It is said that the Holy House of Santuario della Santa Casa is the same walled Chamber of Mary that once existed in Nazareth. This legend, together with the beautiful paintings and decorations, attracts visitors from all around the world. Guided tours of the basilica or its museum and art gallery are held regularly.

Tianzifang is where the new and old Shanghai meet. In the traditional stone-paved alley lies, perhaps, the artsiest neighbourhood in the city. Cafés, crafts shops, art galleries, and boutiques dot the street. Take a walk along Tianzifang, and you will surely discover another side of this international metropolis.

Værket can rightly be entitled the cultural centre of excellence in Randers and Central Jutland, as each year, more than 100,000 visitors attend more than 400 arrangements: from ballets and musicals to R&B concerts and movies. On top, this venue also organises events at the Foyer- and Café Stage, and as these are free of charge, they provide a great opportunity for both children and adults alike to enjoy jazz concerts, circus performances, classical concerts and exhibitions.
