Popular Travel Destinations in China
China is filled with a variety of unique and alluring tourist destinations. When coming to the country, you may feel overwhelmed by the wealth of dazzling options that can leave an impression which cannot be replicated elsewhere. The following are 3 top destinations which should not be left out of your itinerary when traveling to China:
Great Wall of China
In the past, The Great Wall of China was also known as the "Ten-Thousand Mile Long Wall." As befits its name, the structure which is a UNESCO world heritage site, takes the form of a giant wall, spanning more than 8.800 kilometers across the mountains of northern China.
The Great Wall of China has been included as one of the seven wonders of the world. It’s unsurprising that visitors find themselves awestruck by its size and magnificence. It has been reported that the Great Wall receives as many as 19 million visitors every year. While enjoying the experience of walking down the expanse of the wall, visitors will also be treated to the breathtaking views that surround the structure.
The Forbidden City
The Forbidden City is a palatial complex situated in downtown Beijing. Between 1420 – 1912, the palace was the home of royal families from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Visiting the City will imbue travelers with a strong sense of the past, as though they had been cast back to a picturesque slice of ancient China.
The Forbidden City now functions as a palace museum. Inside its 180-hectare ground, there are 980 wooden buildings. This figure means the location is home to the single most extensive collection of wooden structures in the world. Indeed, UNESCO has recognized the Forbidden City as the largest royal complex in existence.
Tiananmen Square
The name Tian'anmen means “Gate of Heavenly Peace.” From this name, the square in the center of Beijing has come to be known by Beijing natives as an ample open space at the door of heaven. With a total area of 440.000 square meters, the square is filled with historically curious tourists on a daily basis.
As an open space located in front of the door to the south of the palace, Tian'anmen Square has been a silent witness to many important events in Chinese history. These include the Proclamation of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949. At the southern end of Tian'anmen Square, visitors can find a mausoleum that contains the remains of Mao Zedong, the founding father of the PROC.
