For your exciting journey through China, I highly recommend diving into some insightful guides and books to enhance your travel experience. For background and practical information, "DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: China" is visually rich and easy to use. If you're interested in deeper cultural context, "China: A History" by John Keay provides an engaging overview of the country's past. For Beijing, "Lonely Planet Beijing" is a practical choice, while "Shanghai: The Rise and Fall of a Decadent City" by Stella Dong offers an intriguing narrative about Shanghai's unique history. For Hangzhou and the surrounding region, "Lonely Planet Shanghai & Surroundings" covers Hangzhou well. Finally, for a literary touch, try "River Town" by Peter Hessler, which gives a personal account of life in China. Guided tours in each city will further enrich your adventure, providing local perspectives and hidden stories to make your trip unforgettable.

About the destination: Situated in the north of China, Beijing is the capital city of the People's Republic of China, the most populated country in the world. With a population exceeding 21 million people, it is the second largest city in the nation, following Shanghai. Beijing is a modern city, boasting impressive new urban and commercial developments, looking towards the future while still deeply connected to its imperial past. Beijing is famous for its extravagant palaces, ancient temples, and massive stone walls and gates. Its art treasures and significant government and cultural institutions have long established the city as a hub of culture and art in China. The heart of the city and its most important landmark is Tiananmen Square, the largest public square in the world. The Tiananmen Gate separates the square from the Forbidden Palace, a must-see in the city. The Forbidden Palace was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Today, it is known as the Palace Museum and is one of the wonders of ancient China. Other main attractions in Beijing include The Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace and the ancient alleyway neighbourhoods, where you can find traditional Beijing architecture, known as Hutongs. Beijing is a good base for visiting some of China’s major landmarks such as the Great Wall of China and the Ming Tombs. With world-renowned cultural and heritage sites, a vibrant nightlife, excellent sporting facilities left as a legacy from the 2008 Olympic Games, delicious food such as Peking Duck, and great entertainment options like the Beijing Opera, Beijing is a captivating city offering a wealth of experiences to visitors.

About the destination: Shanghai is a modern city situated just south of the mouth of the mighty Yangtze River and divided in two by the Huangpu River. It's one of China's largest metropolises and is considered the most cosmopolitan, sophisticated and progressive city in mainland China. Shanghai is a great place to visit if you want to get a glimpse of China's future. A whole new city of skyscrapers has been constructed in its Pudong district, including the Oriental Pearl Tower, which has become one of the city’s landmarks and is one of the tallest structures in Asia, and the Shanghai World Financial Centre, the third largest building in Asia and the world. On the west side of the Yangtze River is the Puxi area, the older central part of the city. Puxi has a rich history and it's here where you'll encounter many of the city’s old buildings and attractions, such as the French Concession, the Bund, the Yuyuan Garden, the Jiu Qu Bridge, the Huxin Pavilion and the Temple. Shanghai is China’s cosmopolitan hub of finance and culture. Shanghai has a special oriental charm and a fresh western style that appeals to everyone. And it's also a good base to explore the more rural and classical sights of nearby Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

3. Hangzhou

Stay

About the destination: Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province and is one of China’s leading tourist destinations. Famous for its lake, Hangzhou welcomes tens of millions of visitors every year. Despite plenty of modern influences, it still feels very traditionally Chinese, with a slower pace of life that people really value. There’s no shortage of things for visitors to see: dozens of large and small temples and pagodas, beautiful scenery, and sites well known from Chinese history, literature and the arts. Among them is Lingyin Temple, one of the largest Buddhist temple complexes in China. The broad, sweeping West Lake is Hangzhou’s best-known attraction. You can take a boat trip to visit the sights dotted around the lake. Some of the most important spots are Lesser Yingzhou Isle, the Mid-Lake Pavilion, Lord Ruan’s Mound and the romantically named Broken Bridge. Hangzhou is also one of China’s most famous tea-growing areas, and you can take trips out to nearby Longjing Village. A modern, well-off city that still keeps close ties with its past, Hangzhou is one of the most pleasant places in China to spend a bit of time.
