SHANGHAI

Shanghai is a diverse city—the old alleys in the old part of town, the century-old European-style buildings along the Bund, gardens filled with memories around Chenghuang, skyscrapers of all kinds in Lujiazui—a melting pot of different elements that forges the city’s unique charm. Numerous attractions and delicacies create a travel culture exclusive to Shanghai, and make it a magical place of never-ending attraction for food lovers, travellers, and those who love to party.

XI’AN

Identified by UNESCO as a Famous World Ancient City in 1981, Xi’an is China’s best tourism destination and one of the county’s National Civilized Cities. Cultural relics spread over six locations have been listed as two World Cultural Heritage sites, including the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and the Terracotta Warriors, Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Daming Palace National Heritage Park (Tang Dynasty), Weiyang Palace Relics (Han Dynasty) and Xingjiao Temple Pagoda.

CHENGDU

Most tourist attractions in Chengdu are found in Qingyang District and Wuhou District: Du Fu’s Thatched Cottage, Qingyang Temple, Wenshu Monastery, Kuan Zhai Alley and the Jinsha Site are all in Qingyang District, and Zhuge Liang Memorial Hall and Jinli Ancient Street are in Wuhou District.
There are also many sites in the suburbs of Chengdu that you will not want to miss, such as Huanglongxi Ancient Town in Shuangliu County and Luodai Ancient Town in Longquanyi District, all amazing destinations to experience the breathtaking scenery and folk culture of Sichuan villages.

BEIJING

Beijing is one of “The Four Great Ancient Capitals of China”. In the city, there are countless scenic spots and historical sites, featuring historic figures and cultural heritage. The city boasts historical sites such as the Forbidden City, one of the Five Most Beautiful Royal Palaces in the World; the Temple of Heaven, where the Emperors worship the Heaven, Beihai Park and the Summer Palace, which were imperial retreats, as well as sections of the Great Wall at Badaling, Mutianyu, and Simatai, and Prince Gong Mansion, the world’s largest Siheyuan (courtyard house).

GUANGZHOU

A long history of more than 2,000 years has earned the city a classification as a National Famous Historical and Cultural City. Known as the “Millennium Trade Capital”, Guangzhou was the first port opened to foreign trade in China, and marks a starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. With a great number of foreign residents, this trade gateway is also dubbed the “Capital of the Third World”.
Guangzhou is also known as the “City of Flowers” with a mild climate and green trees all year round. A unique natural environment and distinctive Cantonese flavor makes Guangzhou a popular tourist destination.

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA – Walk along China’s Iconic Ancient Wonder

The Great Wall is the military defense project in ancient China, mainly distributed in 15 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, i.e. Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang. Where there is the Great Wall, there are profound imprints of the Chinese history. Here exist the Palace Museum, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Terracotta Army and Jiayu Pass, to name just a few. Tracing the Great Wall and one will finally enter the hinterland of China; standing atop the Great Wall and one will be transported to the battle scenes of millennia ago, and envisage the up and downs of Chinese history unfolding.

THE YELLOW RIVER – Come Face to Face with the Mother River

The Yellow River is the second-longest river in China and the sixth in the world with an estimated length of 5,464 km. The river basin was the primary birthplace of Chinese civilization and is thus known as the “Mother River”. Originating in the Bayan Har Mountains on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau in Western China’s Qinghai Province, it flows eastward through Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, before emptying into the Bohai Sea. The river course is dotted with renowned scenic areas including the Baotu Spring, Qufu Ming Dynasty Ancient City and Mount Tai.
