Kota Kinabalu Wetland Centre is a 24-hectare mangrove forest that serves as a crucial refuge for local and migratory birds from North Asia. Located in the city, it supports diverse wildlife and marine life, offering visitors a chance to see crabs, lizards, and unique plant species. The Centre also plays a vital role in stabilising sedimentation, storing nutrients, and removing toxins from freshwater supplies.

This museum of oddities is a temple of all things weird, bizarre, and — at times — gross and creepy. From an alien autopsy table and (somewhat disturbing) crime scene recreations to treats served at the on-site café (dessert with crickets and scorpion bits, anyone?), the Peculiarium is a bloody good time if you're not too squeamish (or underage).

The Napa Valley Wine Train invites you to step back in time as you board its restored Pullman cars, where polished wood and large windows frame sweeping vineyard views. From the moment the train’s whistle sounds, you’re transported through the heart of Napa Valley, winding past historic wineries, sunlit vineyards, and the rustic beauty of California wine country. Onboard, chefs prepare multi-course meals paired with carefully selected wines from the region. With options from sunset dinners to tasting tours with winery stops, the Wine Train offers a memorable way to experience Napa’s flavors and landscapes.

Founded in 1904, Xiling Seal Art Society was dedicated to the research of traditional Chinese calligraphy and seal carving art. Today, it is also a museum where more than 6000 authentic works of ancient Chinese artists are preserved, a boutique where you can get stone carved seals or calligraphy with your own name on it. Even the well preserved Qing dynasty style architecture of the society alone is a piece of art.
