Beijing
If your impression of Beijing revolves around a group of Maoist revolutionaries who are wearing tunics and performing Tai Ji Chuan in the square, let them have a rest: the city has started a roller coaster in the new millennium, and it will take the rest of China with it.
Beijing, an old maid, is being renovated, and the appearance of the city is changing every day. However, in this city, you will still find some of China's most amazing attractions: the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven Park, the Lama Temple and the Great Wall, just to name a few.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong has the characteristics of a big city, such as smog, smell, crowding and crazy love for noise. But it is also efficient, quiet and peaceful: the transportation network is good, the shopping center is spectacular, and the quiet corners of temples and parks are oases of meditation.
There are enough towering cities, charming street scenes, mysterious temples, business enthusiasm and cultural characteristics in Hong Kong to completely drown the senses of tourists, and there are enough spontaneous and unexpected possibilities to completely laugh at any strictly organized itinerary.
Macao
Macau may have firmly returned to the track of China, but the Portuguese antique of Las Vegas, which combines Chinese and Western cultures, makes it the most unusual Asian destination. It is always hidden by its dazzling neighbor Hong Kong, which is why it is so attractive.
Macau's dual cultural heritage is a boon for tourists, who can choose from traditional China temples, spectacular destroyed cathedrals, pastel villas, ancient forts and islands that once harbored pirates. Many museums will tell you how it all happened.
Shanghai
Although the lights have been out for quite a long time, Shanghai once attracted foreigners with its attractive combination of tradition and exquisiteness. Now, Shanghai is awakening again, brushing off its dancing shoes and dancing another silk tango with the wider world.
In many ways, Shanghai is a western invention. The Bund, its riverside area and France Town are the best places to see its decadent colonial historical sites. Then visit temples, gardens, markets and striking buildings in new Shanghai.
Xi'an
Xi 'an was once a major crossroads on the trade route from eastern China to Central Asia, competing with Rome and later Constantinople for the title of the greatest city in the world. Today, Xi 'an is one of the main attractions in China, largely because of the Terracotta Warriors in the eastern suburbs of the city. More than10,000 numbers found in 1974 have been classified so far. Soldiers, archers (equipped with real weapons) and battle stations in the battle formation of the underground vault look as fierce as pottery and like war. Other attractions in Xi 'an include the ancient city walls, Muslim settlements and the Neolithic village in Banpo, a tacky replica of the Stone Age. It takes 16 hours to go to Xi 'an by train from Beijing. If you have a little spare money, you can fly.
Everyone knows that China is a very big country in the world. It has a long history. There are many interesting places here, such as the Great Wall. Summer Palace and so on. So many people visit here every year. It will hold the Olympic Games in 2008. And it will get better and better.
