Lahore-- Updates...............

[Kambojaric]

Yeah but Islamabad seems more artificial to me. Lahore is a city with history, culture and magnifique architecture. It is one of my dearest wishes to visit Lahore one day.

Islamabad indirectly has a lot of history as well. It is located on the Potohar Plateau, and is only a couple of KM away from Taxila (a major urban hub going back thousands of years, and center of the Buddhist Gandhara civilization, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxila).

Islamabad proper however is bland with most touristic activities revolving around visiting the beautiful hills surrounding the city from where one gets great views.
Lahore proper however is on another level when it comes to history. It is where Qutbuddin Aibek ruled and died (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutb_al-Din_Aibak), his tomb below

Lahore has been the capital at various stages for the likes of the Ghaznavids (who upon losing lands in the North to the Seljuks moved their base to Lahore), Mughals (under Akbar this was the capital of the Empire, and future emperors like Jehangir are buried there, see Jehangirs tomb below)

You have major architectural wonders like the Badshahi Mosque to small local museums like the Faqir Khana, which posses relics from the Prophet and his companions. For a history buff, Lahore is a must visit

Islamabad is new city with not much history but near it there is Taxila. Rawalpindi again was just village in British era before they build cantonment there.

Lahore, Peshawar, Multan, Sialkot, Taxila are historical cities with history dating back thousands of years.

Instead of flower beds, decorative shrubs and small plants PHA(Punjab Horticulture Authority) need to and should plant trees, and let them grow big, shady, tall and with thick foliage, and local varieties of tree and not imported ones.
