We spent five days in Shenzhen. Though it’s one of the largest cities in China, we believe it’s not among its most attractive ones. Sure, there is some interesting contemporary architecture, outstanding parks, and delicious food, but the fact that it lacks history is more than evident. Shenzhen has fantastic hotels, so the only real […]
It is no secret that China is one of our favorite countries in the whole world. The number of interesting places you can visit is just unbelievable. Everybody knows Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi’an. Its natural sites and ancient towns are coming into the spotlight too. However, one outstanding place recently stole our hearts. We are […]
No trip to Guizhou province can be complete without visiting Zhaoxing. The biggest Dong village in China is absolutely beautiful and atmospheric. We spent several magical days walking about its streets in awe. Zhaoxing has it all: lush green nature, impressive architecture, delicious food, fresh air, an ancient culture, and a unique atmosphere. Besides, unlike […]
Xi’an has a special place in our hearts. It was the first Chinese city we visited. It was also love at first sight. Xi’an is absolutely beautiful. The city was one of the 4 great ancient capitals of China. Thus, it has incredible historic architecture. Not only that, but contemporary masterpieces dot its streets. Xi’an […]
The first time we visited China, we decided to skip Chongqing. We were in Chengdu, and although Chongqing was just a short trip away, it seemed gray and its architecture unappealing. Since then, things have changed dramatically. Over the past decade, numerous fascinating projects have been built. Thanks to them, Chongqing has become one of […]
We have to be honest: we weren’t expecting much of Guiyang. Guizhou’s capital was supposed to be just a short stop on our way to the magnificent Huangguoshu Waterfall and Miao and Dong villages. How wrong we were! We fell in love with the city, and ended up staying longer than planned. The city conquered […]
We spent an amazing week in Nanjing. The former capital of China has it all: a fascinating culture, splendid nature, temples, museums, superb historic architecture, contemporary masterpieces, delicious food, warm hosts, and great hotels. The city is big so choosing the right place to stay is essential. Since we are obsessed with hotels we moved […]
Guizhou is one of our favorite provinces in China. The province is home to Asia’s biggest waterfall, lush green forests, ancient historic villages, sacred hills, and an upbeat capital city. However, what sets it apart is its people. Several ethnicities coexist peacefully in Guizhou. We think that’s why we loved its food so much. Rich, […]
For centuries, Chinese poets have called Suzhou paradise on earth. We completely agree: Suzhou’s gardens belong in heaven. There are 69 splendid gardens in the city, 8 of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Each and every single garden is beautiful. The gardens date back to the 11th to the 19th Century. The rest of […]
After spending a couple of days in the wonderful Huangguoshu Waterfall, we wanted to see an authentic Chinese village. That’s why we went to Xijiang, the biggest Miao village in the country. Granted, most of the buildings in Xijiang are new. However, the village is absolutely beautiful and authentic. Historic buildings dot the village, the […]
