Choosing to travel around China can be a daunting experience. It’s huge and diverse, with an often bewilderingly different culture and its own long and storied history. Read on to find out about six truly unique experiences for visitors to China.

1. Explore Shanghai

The world’s biggest city by population is modern China’s “showpiece”. It won’t be hard to get lost exploring this awe-inspiring city, but to start you off, Yu Gardens are a big tourist draw for a reason, while the Bund area offers stunning views of Shanghai’s most famous buildings. And don’t forget Shanghai’s cuisine: from xiao long bao, delicious oozing broth-filled dumplings, to the famous drunken crab dish.

Trip Guide: Visiting the Terracotta Army

The famous Terracotta Army was one of my most anticipated visits while being in China. Over 8,000 soldiers and 130 chariots with almost 700 horses made from Terracotta to protect the first Emperor of China after his death? Oh yeah I want to see that phenomenon!
