Mausoleum of Emperor Jehangir
It lies 05 kilometers northwest of Lahore across the River Ravi. The mausoleum has a majestic structure made of red sandstone and marble. A perfect settling with a typical Mughal Garden, speaks volumes about its design and architecture. Queen Noor Jehan and the Emperor’s son, Shah Jehan built the tomb around 1637. In a courtyard next to Jehangir’s tomb lies buried his brother in law, Asif Jah, father of Queen arjumand Bano.

I love the Badshahi Masjid which for centuries was the grandest Masjid on earth and it's courtyard is still unmatched to this day. I guess it is the best of Auranzebs achievments though that Emperor was well known for his blunders, you cannot doubt his building project was truly awe inspiring.
Re: What Do You Know About...
In the Mughal days, the old city was surrounded by a 9-meter high brick wall. A circular road around the rampart gave access to the city through 13 gates. Some of these gates are still preserved. In the bazaars (Mochi Gate, rang-mahal) of the old city, one still comes acroos tiny shops where craftsmen can be seen busy turning out masterpieces in copper, brass, silver, as well as textiles in traditional fashion.

Anarkali
Anarkali bazaar is the most fascinating of the city’s many bazaars. The alleys and lanes of Anarkali are full of exciting wares, especially traditional crafts like leather ware, embroaidered garments, glass bangles, beaten gold and silver jewellery, etc.
