Ningbo is right on the East China Sea, south of Shanghai. Many scholars believe this was the cradle of Chinese civilization. Study the stone tablets and thousands of rare Ming Dynasty books in China's oldest and most renowned library. See the Asoka Temple believed to be one of the most important Buddhist temples in China or visit Tian Tong Temple, one of the largest and most scenic. For shopping, try the colorful and busy Gao Tang Free Market, the largest in the city.

Beijing

Beijing, the capital of China, is a city where history and modern life intersect on a grand scale. Ancient landmarks like the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Temple of Heaven reflect centuries of imperial heritage, while the Great Wall lies just outside the city, offering views of one of the most famous engineering feats in the world.

Shanghai

Shanghai is a city where contrasting timelines meet at every corner. Once a small fishing village along the Huangpu River, it grew rapidly during the 19th century into a major trading port. Today, its skyline tells a story of that transformation. On one side, the Bund’s colonial-era buildings stand tall in limestone and granite; on the other, the futuristic towers of Pudong, like the Shanghai Tower and Jin Mao, stretch into the clouds.
