The name Sollefteå translates to "the sunny climes." Situated in the Ångermanälven river valley, nestled between the fjeld and the sea and bordered by scenic mountains and steep sandy river banks, this region has always been a magnet for people throughout history. The rock carvings at Nämforsen river shows it was an important place even 6,000 years ago.

The funicular, connecting the district Podol with the upper part of the city, is an authentic and functional monument to Kyiv's historic past and just another means of public transport for locals.

Stretching 250 metres long and 4 metres wide, Chung Ying Street is one of the most fascinating places to cross from Hong Kong into Shenzhen’s Shekou town. One side of the street belongs to Hong Kong, while the other is in Mainland China—standing in the middle feels like a unique step between two worlds. The Chung Ying Street Historical Museum offers a deep dive into the history behind this border crossing. For those looking to shop, the street is a popular tax-free zone. However, it's important to be cautious as counterfeit goods are known to circulate here. A special permit is required to access the street.
