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.
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.
