- WHAT SHOULD TO SEE IN CHINA?
In China, almost every city has one
or more sightseeing to visit and if you don't plan your itinerary
ahead, you might just wander through some cities without
seeing the most important attractions making your trip to
China incomplete. Beijing is usually the first city to visit.
Because of its significance in the historical development
of China, it has a number of sightseeing which is not to
be missed during your short visit here. They include The
Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen
Square, The Summer Palace, The Ming Tombs and the traditional
Hutong. All of these attractions can be visited in three
days. Xian would definitely be your next stop after Beijing.
Spending two days in Xian allows you to discover the past
of China since it is believed by many to be the birthplace
of ancient civilization. The two major attractions to see
in Xian are the Terracotta Army Warriors and the Big Wild
Goose Pagoda. These Xian attractions played significant roles
during the Chinese revolution. From Xian, you can fly to
Guilin and Yangshuo where you can spend 2 days cruising the
Li River and exploring the Reed Flute caves and the Elephant
Trunk hills. The few days you spend in Guilin renews your
spirit with its breathtaking beauty. After the rejuvenating
experience from the land of Guilin, you can spend the next
five to six days in the beautiful province of Yunnan. Kunming,
the spring city of Yunnan is known to be the most peaceful
and laid back environment very much inclined to foreign tourists.
With a wonderful landscape, more sightseeings and a favorable
climate, it is no wonder why tourists flock to this part
of China to spend more days there. The major highlights of
Yunnan province include the Shilin Stone Forest, Tiger Leaping
Gorge, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and Erhai Lake. And finally,
the last two days can be spent shopping and wandering around
the cosmopolitan streets of Shanghai. Shanghai is one of
the oldest cities in China which has developed into a fast
bustling metropolis. Yuyuan garden, The Jade Buddha temple,
Shanghai Bund and the French Concession are major places
of interest in Shanghai. There are also a number of shopping
malls and markets to buy assorted bags and shoes at reasonable
prices. Five cities and twenty attractions in twelve days
could just be the best way to enjoy your China travel adventure.
If you have more time, Tibet ,silk road & Tibet are also
very charmful.
