Asia’s Ultimate Travel Destination

China is a breathtaking tourist destination with an enormous number of sights and cultural troves. Home to motley ethnic groups, China offers a cultural variety that is not found elsewhere. China’s major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, and Guangzhou are all worth a trip alone.

But China is not only a giant of tourism; it is in the middle of an economic boom that makes China one of the leading nations in the world and is arguably one of the most popular destinations in East Asia.

As tourism in China continues to grow by leaps and bounds, the best places to go when visiting China are tourist destinations like the magnificent Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City.

The Great Wall stretches from East to West, covering about 4,163 miles and winding through valleys and across mountains. Its construction began around 600-700 BC and continued for over 2000 years and through 20 dynasties. The Great Wall is as much as 25 feet high in some areas and considered as one of the world’s largest building projects ever completed.

Another popular destination that you do not want to miss when visiting China is the Forbidden City. China’s Forbidden City is home to the world’s largest Palace. Situated in the heart of Beijing, the palace exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia. The enormous complex holds around 90 palaces and courtyards, 980 buildings and does have more than 8000 rooms.

Indeed, China is much more than just a country. When visiting China it’s like being in a whole different world. The tradition of this beautiful country, its proud sense of history and culture that spans back over 5,000 years, makes China a wonderland for millions of tourists each year.
