上海

Art Deco neighborhoods, cutting-edge galleries, river views and late-night neighborhood eateries combine to create a city perfect for discovery on foot.

青岛

Qingdao is a hilly port city with rocky Yellow Sea shores, fishing traditions, modern architecture and modern marine industries adjacent to each other. The old town is suitable for walking but the slope is obvious, while Laoshan and the outer coast require a full-day schedule. The waterfront should be understood as a functioning maritime urban space, rather than as a strip of beach, beer, and historic buildings compressed into a resort strip.

泉州

To understand Quanzhou, one should not just view it as a group of isolated monuments, but should see a set of interconnected maritime trade systems. Management institutions, docks, bridges, kilns and warehouses during the Song and Yuan Dynasties supported the international port, and Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism and folk belief groups also left visible marks. The ancient city is still a living space, suitable for walking slowly and respecting the local daily order.

绍兴

Shaoxing is a canal city where Vietnamese archeology, calligraphy, classical gardens, modern literature and rice wine culture are still embedded in the living neighborhoods. The famous former residences and landscapes span completely different eras, from the legend of Dayu, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy to Lu Xun's 20th century world. The ancient city is suitable for slow travel, but peripheral points such as Lanting require the use of transportation.
