We Lahore is filled with so much beautiful and elegant places that needs exploring. I studied in one of grate University Lahore has, GC University. It has a history of over two hundred years, build by British. The main building or the vice chancellor office reminded me of some old intelligent minds that walked these floors. The emphi theater in GC was used by actors to play the scripts of Shakespeare. Sometimes you wonder how it's still standing. The majestic main clock, not working now, but in old times would have been source of time. If move a little on the mall road you will see Alfred C. Woolner statue standing. You can admire the guy because Dr. Woolner started as librarian at Punjab University and then finally he was vice chancellor of Punjab University. Many don't know but he is buried here too.

Lahore had many visitors/tourists that come ti dig out out history as it is the cultural and trade hub. Walled city has many cannons that you may find still there and some are left by British Empire.
The oldest teaching institute The Lahore YMCA, has a proud tradition of service to Pakistan, since 1876 the YMCA has been famous as a venue for historical meetings, social events and imparting quality education. Many don't know its that old. If you look at the old photos of Lahore it will feel very open filled with beautiful people.
