UNUSUAL ATTRACTIONS ON THE WATER
Bangkok Floating Markets
There are many floating markets where goods are sold from boats. While modern markets are more popular, floating markets still are huge attractions for local tourism. In Bangkok Floating Markets, Thailand, one of the most popular ones, any visitors can buy local foods and traditional hand-made souvenirs.
Bregenzer Festspiele (Opera festival)
The Bregenz Festival is held every year from July to August in Vorarlberg, Austria. It has the world's largest stage on the water. The performances are different every year but they are usually united by one theme. The decorations (装饰)are very impressive and are worth seeing.
Viva, Artificial Island
Artificial islands are not something new. What makes this island special is that . it is floating. Viva is the largest out of three man-made islands along with Vista and Tera, all situated in Seoul, South Korea. The island weighs 2,000-tons and is technically a buoy (浮标).The island unfortunately is not carbon-neutral (碳中和) but it has solar panels which can generate electricity to power the hall, restaurants and shopping malls.
Marina Bay Floating Platform Stadium
This stadium was built as a temporary solution while Singapore National Stadium was rebuilt. Now it is used for different sporting events, concerts, and festivals. In particular, it was once used for the opening and closing ceremonies during the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics.

What to See In Harbin
Parks in Harbin: Snow Sculpture Expo on the Sun Island Park: massive and beautifully carved sculptures of snow. Ice Lantern Festival: where large ice buildings and statues constructed with lights inside that make them glow. Siberian Tiger Park: The park has several large caged areas where the tigers roam freely and live as they-would in their natural environment. We enter these caged areas in a specially designed van with large windows to get a look at these beautiful beasts. Live pheasants (雉) are let loose (if you pay) in order to show you the tigers' natural hunting skills.
Russian Architecture: Blessed with grace and character, the city is famous for its unique, Russian-influenced architecture. Remnants (残存) from the days when Harbin was an important stop on the Russian Manchurian Railroad, the dome-shaped structures remind people of pre-revolutionary Russia. The strong Russian flavor continues to impact the city today due to new trade and tourism between Harbin and Russia.
The Central Avenue: Passers-by only street, a perfect remaining part of the busy international business activities at the turn of the 20th century. The 1.4-km long street is a worthy museum of European architectural styles, including Baroque and Byzantine facades, Jewish architectural wonders, little Russian bakeries, French fashion houses, American snack food outlets, and Japanese restaurants.
Guogeli Avenue: Harbin's second biggest shopping district dotted with Russian buildings. A tram track is still preserved in the centre of the road. The street is named after Nikolay (Vasilyevich) Gogol (1809-1852); great Russian novelist, dramatist, satirist, founder of the so-called critical realism in Russian literature, best-known for his novel MERTVYE DUSHI I-II (1842, Dead Souls).
Saint Sophia Church (built in 1903): The Orthodox church is a wonderful example of Russian Architecture. We only tour the outside of the church. The inside has been turned into some painters' market and is a big disappointment to all who visit it. You are welcome to venture into the church. Entrance fees are RMB20 per person.
