Suzhou: what gives the Venice of the East its magical charm?

Suzhou: what gives the Venice of the East its magical charm?

Even though the city of Suzhou is undergoing an economic boom, its central district has managed to retain its own authenticity. It is with a sense of wonderment that visitors discover China's most beautiful gardens, as well as the Northern Temple, Tiger Hill, and the silk museum. Known as the "Venice of the East" because of its many canals, life is good there, and you can relax on Pingjiang Lu or Shantang Jie between sightseeing visits.

Beijing, the cultural capital with a thousand different faces

Beijing, the cultural capital with a thousand different faces

Bejing, formally transliterated as Peking has been a topic of conversation for centuries: since the Han, Tang, and especially the Jin Dynasties, becoming China's principal city in 1153, until the Ming Dynasty transferred its seat of government there in 1421. That is how Beijing officially became the capital of China.

Why go to Shanghai?

Why go to Shanghai?

Shanghai won't leave you indifferent: the skyscrapers of The Bund, and the bustle of Nanking Road are evidence of how dynamic the city is. But you can also see its Chinese soul when you walk through the paved squares and Lilong - the narrow paved alleys that are typical of the city. And, of course, Shanghai is a city renowned for its food: a feast for the taste buds.

Macau, where China becomes... Portugal, or Las Vegas!

Macau is Asia's Las Vegas or Portugal - the style of the 50s in a UNESCO World Heritage site, casinos, and Portuguese egg tarts... An explosive mixture in an out of the ordinary city.
