Major city · Pakistan
Jhang
Spend a half‑day to see the main shrines and riverfront; add a night if you want a relaxed pace or want to try local food.
Jhang is a mid‑size Punjab city on the Chenab River, known for Sufi shrines, river activities and traditional markets. It is reachable by bus or train from Lahore and Faisalabad, and local transport is cheap. One day covers the highlights; a second night adds flexibility for meals and evening strolls.
