The Museum of Fine Arts
Sometimes art museums can be a little bit boring but I really enjoyed visiting Leipzig's Museum of Fine Arts. Set up in 1848, the museum has a collection of about 4,600 paintings (from the Late Middle Ages to the modern day). I love learning about different artists from across the ages.

I had heard a lot about this church, so it was amazing to finally visit it in person. Inside, there are beautiful paintings on the wall and it is very peaceful.
Leipzig Zoo
I think Leipzig has one of the best zoos in the world—Leipzig Zoo! The zoo is famous for its large building projects such as Gondwanaland, the world's second?largest indoor rainforest. As you walk in Gondwanaland, it feels like you're going through the rainforest of Africa, Asia and South America. The best part of Leipzig Zoo is the safari area.

It was built for Mumtaz Mahal, the third wife of the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan. The emperor loved Mumtaz Mahal so much that he always tried to make her happy.
In 1631, the emperor went on a long trip with her. On the way, Mumtaz Mahal died when she was giving birth (生孩子) to their 14th child.
Before she died, she asked the emperor to make four promises to her.
①Build the most beautiful monument (纪念馆) for her.
②Not to marry again.
③Be kind to their children.
④Visit her tomb (坟墓) every year.
