Tombs of Buganda Kings at Kasubi
The Tombs of the Buganda Kings at Kasubi are located in the Kampala District and cover nearly 30 hectares. Most of the site is agricultural land, cultivated using traditional methods. The core of the hilltop is the old palace of the Kabaka of Buganda, built in 1882 and converted into a royal cemetery in 1884. Four royal tombs exist within the main building, Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, which is circular in shape and topped with a dome. It is an excellent example of building using organic materials, primarily wood, thatch, reeds, wattle and mud. However, the main significance of the site lies in its intangible values of faith, spirituality, continuity and identity.
The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright
The estate includes eight buildings designed by Wright in the United States during the first half of the 20th century. These include the famous Fallingwater (Millen, Pennsylvania) and the Guggenheim Museum (New York). All buildings embody the "organic architecture" that Wright developed, including open floor plans, blurred boundaries between indoors and outdoors, and unprecedented use of materials such as steel and concrete. Each of these buildings provided innovative solutions to the needs of living, worshipping, working, or relaxing. Wright's work from this period had a strong influence on the development of modern architecture in Europe.

It also provides an ideal base for science and technology education in primary, secondary and high schools. The main attractions in the scenic area include the Tropical Plant Sightseeing Hall, Tusibao National Exhibition Hall and Tusi Bar, which covers an area of 20,000 square meters. The forests in the scenic area are lush, vines are entangled, and exotic flowers and plants compete for beauty. Streams, fountains, plants, and animals form a magnificent tropical rainforest.

International exchanges, Italian Farm provides an effective display, promotion, and promotion platform for fruit planting technology, culture, and food trade between China and Italy. Due to the attention of the two governments and many media, our brand effect has been continuously improved. Zero emission: Geothermal heat replaces coal and fundamentally eliminates the environmental pollution caused by the use of mineral energy. Therefore, organic agricultural production can be virtuous in a fully closed operation state, and effectively saves energy and protects the environment. Virtuous cycle of the ecological chain: The agricultural park covers an area of 150 acres and is divided into four parts: planting production area, planting sightseeing area, breeding production area, and breeding sightseeing area. In agricultural production, a green holiday farm full of rich Italian style has been established, integrating planting, breeding, catering, accommodation, entertainment and leisure. Development of organic food: On the basis of realizing multi-level utilization of energy and environmentally friendly production, Italian farms use the ecological chain as a carrier to vigorously develop organic agriculture. The manor has introduced traditional Italian technology and professional equipment, and can carry out deep processing of fruit winemaking such as pure natural wine, national wine, and cheese making. At present, the organic food production base in the park grows crops such as grains, beans, forests, fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and breeds more than ten kinds of ornamental animals and poultry and livestock such as ostriches, squirrels, peacocks, African geese, goats, sheep, rabbits, guinea fowls, ducks, and geese, which are deeply loved and recognized by the citizens of the capital. There are more than 110 kinds of native Italian fruit trees and a variety of livestock and poultry. We have introduced 6 categories and more than 60 varieties of northern fruit trees from Italy, including strawberry, apricot, peach, plum, apple, cherry, pear, grape, etc. We have adopted the construction purpose of landscape garden, science garden and ecological garden with one garden and one scene, supplemented by greenhouse fruit and vegetable planting, forming the largest imported fruit production demonstration base in the north. Combining the local resource advantages, we will expand and strengthen the production of organic food and fully occupy the domestic market.
