Capital of China and one of the largest, busiest and most incredible cities in the world and home of the Chinese Government. Visit the Tiananmen Square with Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and - of course - the Great Wall of China nearby. If you have the time, try the Opera or Peking Duck!
The Great Wall of China needs no introduction. It served to protect mainland China from Mongolian invaders and took decades to build. Now it is the only structure that can be seen from the moon.
Xian is an old city mostly known for the archeological finds of the Terracotta Army, a real size stone army where real people and horses are said to have posed to be carved in stone. The stone wall around the city centre also makes Xian quite unique.
Shanghai, the economic heart of China, has played a major role in China´s past and will do so in the future as well. You can find anything here, from local dance, traditional tea houses, nice food to luxury cars and watches. The Bund and the ´bottle opener´ are must do´s.
Yangshuo is a very interesting city of 1 million on the Li River, south of Guilin. There are lots of outdoor touristy activities as well as the West Street. Noticeable are the bubble mountains that surround the city.
Leshan is home to the Giant Buddha. This 71-metre tall stone statue, built between 713 and 803, is a thru miracle and the largest and tallest stone Buddha statue in the world.
Guilin´s rural landscape is the reason to visit the area. "Bubbled" mountains cover the place and you really feel like being surrounded. Take a ride on the Li River to Yangshuo or visit the magnificent rice fields just North of the city - as many Chinese on vacation do.
Datong is a major city with on an important travel route with temples, murals and caves.
