Places To Go in China
While planning a trip to China, one can take into account these three beautiful places that will take anyone's breath away.
Jiuzhaigou Valley
Situated on the north of Sichuan over the edge of the Tibetan plateau, this place is known for its multi-level waterfalls, colorful lakes, and snowcapped peaks. As the film location for many movies and Chinese dramas, this valley has become a popular tourist destination over the years. After taking look at the pictures, one would understand the appeal of such scenic lakes that have gathered numerous local legends.
Xinjiang
Setting out from Kashgar, the westernmost city in China, one would have to traverse one of the world's most dangerous road, Karakoram Highway to get to the glacier sea lake which is surrounded by mountains. Four hours of being on the treacherous road has not stopped globetrotters from visiting Lake Karakul.
While in Xinjiang, do take a detour to the Nalati Grassland – a meadow so distinctive that the name Nalati(place where the sun emerges in Mongolian)was given by Genghis Khan when he laid eyes on it.
Guilin Located in northeast of Guangxi, this prefecture-level city has much to offer. With its tourist spots such as Longsheng Rice Terrace, Yangshou, Li River and numerous ancient towns, Guilin is among one of the top destination spots in China. With its extraordinary Karst mountains, travelers would definitely get their breath taken away when faced with the scenic topography that has inspired poets and artists over the centuries as well.
