Beijing great wall

A soldier standing in front of the Tiananmen Tower, Beijing The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus stretching approximately 6,700 kilometers (4,163 miles ) from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2000 years, some of the section of the great wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared.

Guilin's Landscape

The world-renowned scenic city of Guilin is naturally a fine tourist city in China. A distinctive karst landmass is the reason behind Guilin's fabulous landscape that is characterized by green mountains, sparkling waters, strange caves and statuesque monoliths. Xing'an County, 60 km to the northeast of Guilin, is the site of the Lingqu (a world-famous ancient canal), and the Leman Geological Scenic Zone where visitors go for both recreation and leisure. Ziyuan County, 149 km north of Guilin, features a landscape corridor where the scenery is by turns mysterious, breathtaking, strange and graceful. Longsheng County, 97 km from Guilin, features the folkways of the ethnic Zhuangs and Yaos, hot spring sanatoriums, and the world's most spectacular Dragon-Ridge Terraced Fields.

As a paragon of the south Chinese landscaping style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is a MUST for all visitors to Shanghai. The neighboring Yuyuan Bazaar, known among old-timers as "Old City God's Temple Market", is a rising tourist and shopping center where visitors loitering among a cluster of shops, restaurants and recreation facilities invariably find themselves making a tour of discovery of local folklore and Ming and Qing architecture.
