The Dallas Arboretum is one of Texas' most attractive sites. Choose from 19 gardens that encompass 66 acres of pure beauty. Positioned on picturesque White Rock Lake, the gardens give way to an Eden of trees, plants, ornamental shrubs, and different flowers throughout the seasons. There is more than what meets the name, though. The Arboretum is its own menagerie of art displays, concerts and festivals all in the spectacular natural ambiance.

Dashilan used to be the busiest suburban commercial area, and one of those most steeped in history. This traditional market is kept as it once was; some of the longest-standing brand boutiques started here, as well as the very first cinema in Beijing - and all of them are still running. Dashilan represents the other side of Beijing. It shows you that this city is not only about royal families but also about regular residents who lived outside the palace. This place breathes vitality of daily life. This is also the main exhibition spot of Beijing International Design Week, making for a unique chemistry between the area's traditional vibe and modern art and design exhibits.
