Fort Cornwallis is George Town’s most prominent historical landmark. Its star-shaped 18th-century ramparts on the waterfront enclose an array of British colonial buildings, including prison cells, a powder magazine, a chapel, a harbour beacon, and bronze cannons still mounted on the battlements.

The Al-Qurain Martyrs Museum is a profoundly moving and sobering historical site, preserving the original house that was the scene of a brutal, day-long battle during the 1991 Iraqi occupation. The building itself is the primary exhibit, left in a semi-destroyed state with visible bullet holes and structural damage. It commemorates the resistance fighters of the Al-Messilah Group who chose to fight rather than surrender. A guided tour is highly recommended to fully understand the narratives of sacrifice and resilience, making it an essential visit for those seeking to comprehend a pivotal moment in modern Kuwaiti history.

The night cruise on the rivers and the four lakes Banyan Lake, Wooden Dragon Lake, Gui Lake and Shahu Lake in Guilin is spectacular. Due to the innovative use of lighting in the gardens and buildings along the lakes, the bridges, buildings and pagodas are beautifully illuminated. Singers and dancers along the shoreline complement this fantastic experience.
