Jiming Temple, a revered place of worship since the 14th century, continues to attract numerous visitors with its blend of history and natural beauty. First constructed in the 14th century, the temple has undergone several renovations, with most of what we see today reconstructed in the 1980s. It remains the region's most attended temple to date. In spring, the blooming sakura along the path bathe the temple in pink, attracting many visitors.

Constructed in the 16th century and still magnificent today. It's obvious why Dresdner Schloss still attracts tourists from all over the world, having been the residence of kings for over 400 years, and Baroque in style. Today, the castle houses 5 museums which present special literature, paintings, and armoury.

The Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve offers a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in Cajun culture and the natural beauty of the bayou. Named after the legendary "Gentleman Pirate" Jean Lafitte, who played a key role alongside General Andrew Jackson in defending New Orleans during the War of 1812, the park provides a rich historical experience. Visitors can also explore the Chalmette battlefield, where the pivotal Battle of New Orleans took place.

Mardi Gras and Carnival have long been the marquee events in New Orleans, with the first recorded parade taking place in 1837. Attracting hundreds of thousands of people each year, these festivities trace their origins to French traditions—Mardi Gras translates to "Fat Tuesday" in French. Carnival officially kicks off on January 6th (Epiphany) and unfolds over several weeks, beginning with elaborate, invitation-only balls hosted by krewes (private clubs), where debutantes are introduced to society. The excitement builds in the final weeks, leading up to Mardi Gras, with the famous street parades filling the city with colorful costumes, floats, and lots of music.
