Beijing (the capital), Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Tianjin, Chongqing and Hangzhou. Each city offers a totally unique experience.
China is one of the safest countries I have ever been. Not only regarding crime but also the traffic or going out late at night. I haven’t experienced anything during my 3 years of living there.
China has some big environment problems because of lots of factories and cities. The air and water can be polluted in places. But the government is trying to fix it by using more clean energy, making strict rules.
China has beautiful natural places like mountains, rivers, and forests. Places like the Yellow Mountains and the Li River are famous for their scenery. China also has many national parks where people can enjoy hiking, like Zhangjiajie.
Chinese food is diverse and delicious, but sometime a but difficult for foreigners. Luckily the variety in dishes is enormous so there is something for everyone. Many foreigner’s favorite: Kung Pao Chicken of course!
History Unveiled:Travel to China, and you’re in for a journey through time. Explore the Great Wall that stretches endlessly, or visit the Terracotta Army in Xi’an – an underground army frozen in time. One visit to Chine surely won’t be enough.
City Expeditions:Modern China offers a different vibe. Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen are bustling centers of commerce and innovation. As a traveler, navigating through these mega-cities offers a mix of old and new. Markets next to skyscrapers, temples surrounded by shopping malls – it’s an amazing world of contrasts.
Nature’s Wonders:Don’t miss China’s natural beauty. The serene West Lake, the picturesque landscapes of Zhangjiajie, and the vastness of Mongolian desert. Each place offers travelers a unique experience of China’s diverse environment.
The best time to visit China largely depends on the regions you plan to explore and your preferences for weather.
Spring (March to May): The weather is generally mild and pleasant, making it ideal for outdoor activities and sightseeing. Cherry blossoms bloom in April, creating stunning landscapes in cities like Beijing and Shanghai. Crowds are relatively manageable compared to peak tourist seasons.
Autumn (September to November) is another excellent season for traveling in China; comfortable temperatures and clear skies. Many regions, including Beijing, Xi’an, and Chengdu, experience mild and dry weather during this time. Autumn foliage in places like Jiuzhaigou National Park and Zhangjiajie is breathtaking. This season also sees fewer tourists compared to the peak summer months.
Summer (June to August): Hot and humid in most parts of China, particularly in southern and central regions. Beijing is relatively dry. Despite the heat, it’s a popular time to visit due to school holidays. Be prepared for larger crowds at popular tourist attractions.
Winter (December to February): Varies greatly across China, with northern regions like Beijing experiencing super cold temperatures and snow, while southern areas like Guangzhou remain relatively mild. Perticularly the island Hainan is really nice in the winter.
Winter can be an excellent time to visit if you’re interested in experiencing Chinese New Year celebrations, which typically occur in late January or early February. Harbin’s Ice and Snow Festival, held from December to February, showcases spectacular ice sculptures.
Traveling during winter means fewer tourists and cheaper accommodations, but be prepared for cold weather, especially in the north.
