Top places to visit in China
Beijing
China’s sprawling capital is where ancient history and industrious modernity collide, resulting in a city which is constantly redefining not only itself, but the nation and its place in the world. Travel to Beijing, and you’ll discover a multilayered city brimming with cultural richness.
Xi’an
One of China’s most storied cities, Xi’an was the endpoint of the Silk Road – a fact to which Xi’an owes its impressive heritage. It’s home to the Terracotta Army, as well as ancient mosques, a labyrinthine Muslim Quarter and Ming-era city walls.
Chengdu
While Chengdu has less to offer in terms of historical sites and heritage than other Chinese cities, it more than makes up for it in its famous regional cuisine – a fantastic place to master the basics of Sichuan cuisine.
Shanghai
Glamorous Shanghai is the beating heart of Chinese culture, from its Michelin-starred restaurant scene to its vibrant music and art venues. This is the sort of place to put the map down, and let the rhythm of the city carry you from one place to another.
