The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum dives into the history and ongoing work of humanitarian aid around the world.

This delightful museum opened in 1906 and is widely regarded as Romania’s best, a veritable treasure trove of pottery, icons and clothing. It also houses the fascinating Communism Exhibition and the ruins of an 18th-century Transylvanian wooden church.

Huashan, or Mount Hua, is one of China’s five great mountains and holds a special place in Taoist tradition, with several sacred temples and ancient pavilions dotting its steep paths. The mountain is renowned for its dramatic, knife-edge trails that reward climbers with awe-inspiring views, though there’s also a cable car for a more leisurely ascent. From the top, the sight of clouds weaving between rugged peaks is truly breathtaking. Located about 120 kilometres from Xi’an, Huashan makes an unforgettable day trip for those looking to experience the grandeur of China’s mountainous landscapes.

Named in honour of Bishop San Sabino, Cattedrale Di San Sabino is the main church in Bari. It was originally built in Byzantine style in the 11th century but was destroyed in 1156, and thereafter it was rebuilt in Romanesque form in 1170. The cathedral is currently one of the most important attractions in town: definitely a must-see!
