1 ~~~ Touropia ~ China ~ Top Tourist Attractions in China ~~~ 93 www.touropia.com/explore/china/30 Top Tourist Attractions in China When most people go to China, they only want to see the Great Wall and Forbidden City in Beijing, walk along the Bund at Shanghai or take in the Terracotta Warriors at Xi’an. Maybe they’ll throw in a visit to Guangzhou or take a Yangtze River cruise. But there’s much more to China than just these famous sites. There are plenty of amazing tourist attractions in China, from ancient cities to forests to temples to rice fields that look like they’ve been designed by artists to sacred mountains and stunning waterfalls. This desire to explore off the beaten path where Chinese tourists outnumber foreign tourists isn’t just confined to 20-something backpackers. Any traveler armed with a good phrase book, a pot of patience and a marvelous sense of humor should do just fine. www.touropia.com/tourist-attractions-in-china/25 Sept 2021 |

8 ~~~ 10 Best Places to Visit the Great Wall of China Stretching for over 6,000 kilometers, the Great Wall of China is undoubtedly one of humankind’s most impressive architectural and engineering achievements. Over the centuries and millennia, various Chinese states and empires built sections of the wall to protect themselves from roving nomadic groups that threatened their territory from the north. As such, some parts date all the way back to the seventh century BC, while some of its most famous segments were only added in the 1500 and 1600s. Snaking its way along mountain ridges through valleys and hills, the Great Wall stretches all the way from the Gobi Desert in the west to the Bohai Sea in the east and passes through 15 Chinese provinces along the way. While many of its best-preserved and most impressive looking segments are to be found just outside Beijing, other more wild and remote, yet equally scenic parts are to be found further afield. As it is one of the most famous and iconic monuments in the world, no visit to China can ever be complete without taking a stroll along the Great Wall. www.touropia.com/places-to-visit-the-great-wall-of-china/6 October 2020 |

Still others rave about the innovative architecture as well as the fabulous museums and gardens that are among Shanghai’s top tourist attractions. Some visitors pig out on the food – Shanghai’s cuisine is considered one of China’s top four cuisines.

17 ~~~ Touropia ~ China ~ Travel Guide www.touropia.com/explore/china/China, the gateway to East Asia, is a fascinating country. It is an ancient nation that gave the world Peking Man, gunpowder and noodles. Chinese civilization has endured through millennia of tumultuous upheaval and revolutions, golden ages and periods of anarchy alike. Through the recent economic boom initiated by the reforms of Deng Xiaoping, China is once again one of the leading nations in the world, maintained by its large, industrious population and abundant natural resources. The depth and complexity of the Chinese civilization, with its rich heritage, has fascinated travelers such as Marco Polo in centuries past, and will continue to excite and bewilder the tourist today. Visitors making their first trip to China usually stick to three cities: Beijing, the capital with the Great Wall and Forbidden City; Shanghai, the largest city with its architecturally innovative skyscrapers, and Xi’an, an ancient capital that is home to the famed Terra Cotta Warriors who guarded the nation’s first emperor, Qin Shuhuang Di, in the afterlife. Sometimes, travelers will take a cruise on the Yangtze River with its Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. More adventuresome or experienced visitors to the Middle Kingdom will strike out in other directions, where traveling may be a bit more frustrating because of the language barrier, but most definitely doable for independent travelers. They’ll seek out the rice terraces of South China, the silk factories of Suzhou, and the Tibetan villages in Sichuan and Gansu provinces. They’ll enjoy peeking into the past at minority villages where life goes on much as it has for centuries. |
