02 上海Shanghai
Coastal Style and World-Class Medical Care

Often called the first stop in China. Century-old buildings along the Bund face the Lujiazui skyline across the river, while the former French Concession's tree-lined streets hide cafes and old villas. The most international city in China, and the easiest for language and payments.

Laid-Back Living, and Western China's Medical Hub

The Panda Base tops every international traveler's must-see list. But what makes people stay is an afternoon spent unhurried in a teahouse, and hotpot so good it brings tears to your eyes.

A Thousand-Year Capital, and Tang Dynasty Culture

Capital to thirteen dynasties, and home to the Terracotta Army, one of the world's best-known archaeological sites. Cycle the ancient city wall, or dress in Tang-dynasty robes for an evening at the Great Tang All Day Mall. History here is something you can wear.

07 杭州Hangzhou
West Lake Scenery, and Jiangnan Tea Culture

As the saying goes, "Above is heaven, below are Suzhou and Hangzhou." A walk around West Lake takes three hours, and it's worth every minute. Longjing tea fields sit right at the edge of the city. Picking leaves, pan-firing tea, then sitting down for a cup: a favorite half-day for European travelers.

Karst Scenery, Famous the World Over

"Guilin's landscapes are the best under heaven" isn't just a slogan. Drift down the Li River by bamboo raft, past karst peaks rising one after another through the morning mist. It's the most iconic landscape in China.
