Lama Temple is the household name of Yonghe Temple. It is a Tibetan Buddhist Temple, and the largest among such temples in Central China. Initially, during the Ming Dynasty it was a part of the Royal Court as court eunuchs used to live there. Later on, even emperor lived there. At the end of sixteenth-century it became a place for worship. It is so historic that during the civil war, it had a prominent role. It sheltered many. It is now one of the major tourist attractions, as well as functional temple, particularly popular with younger Chinese population. There is a sandalwood sculpture of Matreyi Buddha whose name is entered in Guiness Book of Records as the largest such a sculpture. The temple complex is more than half kilometer long. There are five courtyards one after another. There are halls in between. The Buddha images are restored inside the hall. The devotees pray facing these halls. The authority supplies incense sticks.

A museum always tells a story. The Berlin Story Bunker tells the most amazing, breathtaking, educating, devastating, horrific, pathetic, ambitous and historic story of our time with deatil research and logical explanation. The rise and fall of Nazi and its leader Adolf Hitler, as well as the joy of humanity among all odds. The museum is situated in a war bunker made by Nazi for their own security. The museum depicts how the Nazi grew and occupied the world stage, how brutal they were against the oppositions, how inhumane they were against the Jews. The narration was smooth. It broke into many distinct episodes, aided by rare historic photographs and documents, and well connected by ample research and intelligent analogy.

It is a statue of the famous Polish painter Jan Matejko (1838-1893), who was born and lived in nearby Florianska Street. Jan Matejko earned his name by painting some big canvasses with historical events, particularly the 'Battle of Grunwald', and 'Union of Lublin.' His works are also on display at the Vatican museums. The sculpture of his is done by Jan Tutai in 2013. Previously there was a tomb of a soviet soldier which was transferred to the military cemetery. The area is also named after Jan Matejko including an adjacent street. It is a nice sculpture as the square indicates the large canvasses that he once painted. As it is blended with the surrounding natural settings, many a time tourists fail to notice it.

This park is adjacent to Warsaw zoo. It is situated at Praga side, on the other side of vistula river. A giraffe sculpture at the centre of the park is the signature point of the park. Good walkways, cycle lanes, squirrels and some sculpture of animals characterised this park. Above all, it is extremely calm and quiet.

A fabulous place. A good bar with an enthusiast bartender. The cocktails are great. Always there is a sophisticated crowd. The live music is definitely an attractive option. The schedule is available in advance. I enjoyed a fantastic jazz band from Bangladesh, Imran Ahmed Trio, there.
