China Attractions

China is characterised by a lot of sightseeing possibilities. Some of the world’s wonders are situated there. That’s why the range of attractions to be appreciated is equally amazing. One of them is The Forbidden City. It is surrounded by defensive walls, the city has outer and inner courts. It was built as the residence for the Ming and Qing emperors, altogether 24 emperors had lived here. Nowadays The Forbidden City is considered to be the world's largest and best preserved imperial palace. Without any doubts the symbol of China is Great Wall, which was constructed in the 7th century BC. The walls were joined when China was united under the rule of the Qin Dynasty. If you are interested in the history take a boat trip along the Huangpu. The tourists will see the Bund, the birthplace of Shanghai, Oriental Pearl TV tower and other landmarks.

An excursion all over Summer Palace takes the tourists half a day, not less. Beautifully-landscaped grounds take the visitors’ breath away, the collection of paintings impress greatly. Temple of Heaven is also worth visiting, because it is one of the most wonderful comlexes not only in the country but also in the world. It was built for the purpose of honouring both heaven and earth. The most notable attractions in China include the Huanggoushu Waterfall and Limestone Caves in Guizhou Province, the Stone Forest in Yunnan Province, and the frost-covered trees in Jilin. UNESCO World Heritage sites in China include the Buddhist mountain known as Emei Shan, the fog-enveloped precipices of Huangshan mountain, and the spectacular lakes and waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou Valley.
