YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY VISIT THESE 5 CITIES in CHINA!

But let's be honest: How do you know which hotspots you should actually go to with an area of almost 9,600,000 km²? Admittedly, this could be very difficult, especially for those new to China. Exactly for this reason I am taking a closer look at the country for you today and introduce you to the cities that should definitely not be missing on your tour of China!

Beijing - the capital of culture

A visit to Beijing is of course essential. The capital of China is not only home to around 21 million inhabitants, but also has a lot to offer - after all, it is one of the largest cities in the world, preceded by a 3000-year history. If you are in the center of Beijing, sooner or later you will come across a swarm of tourists who are making their way to the Forbidden City . While the Chinese emperors once lived and carried out their office here, entry was denied to the people.

Today, however, this place is open to the public and one of the top sightsfor tourists. The former ruling palaces are partially gold-plated and decorated with the symbolic color of the Chinese emperor, yellow. In addition, the buildings impress with their imposing height, which meant that other buildings in the city were not allowed to surpass them. I can tell you, the Forbidden City offers a prime picture of grandiose Chinese architecture!

A place where you will also meet many tourists and visitors to the city is Tiananmen Square, Tian'anmen Square. As the largest square in the world, where up to 1 million people can easily gather, it pulsates when hosting celebrations and rallies.

While on the west side of this place you will find the Great Hall of the People, the seat of the Chinese National Assembly, on the east side the museum is definitely worth a visit, because here you will learn everything about Chinese history and revolution. Placed in the middle, a memorial commemorates the heroes of the people - you can hardly escape interesting history in this place.

What also distinguishes Beijing is the Tiantan Temple of Heaven . So that the country is blessed with a rich harvest, the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties visit the landmark of Beijing year after year. But you can also take a look inside the building, for tourists the Temple of Heaven is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a small entrance fee.

so there

Since the rush of visitors is usually very large, you should either plan a lot of time for this excursion or go there early in the morning so that you are the first onlookers.

Last but not least, the Great Wall of China is of course at the top of the list of attractions in China. Although it stretches over a distance of 8850 kilometers through the state, an excursion from Beijing is particularly recommended.

Here the surrounding hotels take advantage of the tourist life and offer a special tour to visit the wall and of course to climb it. Of course, you can also go on a trip on your own, public transport as well as taxis and rental cars are available to you to head for the best vantage point on the wall.

Xi'an - the mysterious tomb

The capital of Shaanxi Province is best known for the excavation of the Terracotta Army . Have you ever seen a burial chamber that is spread over several thousand square meters? If not, which I strongly believe, you should definitely not miss a visit to the city of Xi'an.

hhh

Here you can marvel at parts of the life-size and mysterious clay warriors who once protected the emperor's grave and have now been excavated and restored after their Hua Printing Hua Printing Hua Printing discovery. To be a few steps further on the trail of the past, I can also take you for a walk on the city wallrecommend. What was built between 1374 and 1378 and renovated centuries later is now a 12-kilometer wall that adorns the city center all around.

Not quite as old, but at least as beautiful, is the mosque built in the Muslim quarter in the 18th century . While non-Muslim visitors are not allowed to enter the prayer rooms, the public forecourt can be viewed and admired. If you are already in Xi'an, both the bell tower and the drum tower are worth a visit.

Let yourself be transported back to the 14th century with the beating of the drums and bells, which at that time signaled the lowering and raising of the drawbridges at the four gates of the city wall. Today, however, the towers are only used for exhibitions.
