Best places to visit in China

China is an immense country, both by its surface and its history. If you want to make the most of your trip to China, you will need to prepare well to focus on what you would most like to see. Our experts at Evaneos are here to help you with your selection.

Are you enthusiasts of great technological cities aiming to go further, aiming to go higher? Do not hesitate to stop for a few days in Hong Kong. You will also find the capital of the country, Beijing, equally enjoyable, dynamic, cosmopolitan and lively, or even in contemporary Shanghai .

Are you more attracted by untamed nature and love to have your breath taken away by incredible landscapes? Then you'll love admiring the rugged rocks of Huanshan, or taking advantage of the isolation of the national park of Jiuzhaigou in which you may be able to see wild pandas. Another example is Dunhuang near the Gobi Desert.

If you prefer landscapes designed by man, go for a walk near the small village of Dazhai, perched on a hillside, from where you can admire the rice terraces.

Finally, for lovers of history and monuments, you are spoilt for choice. Take Datong and its Buddhist caves, Xi’an and its army, Jinshanling and its section of the Great Wall of China a little away from the crowds of tourists. Not to mention the Dazu rock carvings inscribed with UNESCO.

In short, China is a true paradise for all travel enthusiasts!
