重庆

Steep streets, three-dimensional transportation and night views of the two rivers make traveling in Chongqing itself a part of the travel experience.

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.

广州

Guangzhou is a Pearl River trading city with more than 2,000 years of maritime exchange history coexisting with high-density modern urban areas. Lingnan ancestral halls, archaeological sites, arcades, markets, gardens and Cantonese cuisine culture are suitable for in-depth exploration by area. With high humidity and cross-city travel time consuming, it’s often more reasonable to focus on one or two areas each day rather than chasing a list of landmarks.

武汉

Wuhan developed from the three towns of Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Han River. Ferries, bridges, opening blocks, universities, museums, and the vast East Lake jointly make the water system the core of the urban structure. The itinerary should be arranged according to river banks and areas, because places that appear to be very close across the water may require longer bridges or subway transfers.

长沙

Changsha is a vibrant Xiangjiang city where archeology, millennium academies, modern history, media culture and nighttime food economy overlap. The Xiangjiang River separates the main areas, but the subway connection is convenient; museums, Yuelu Mountain woodlands and community early mornings should be arranged outside the busy commercial core to avoid only seeing high-volume nightlife images.

哈尔滨

Harbin developed on railroads, immigration, and Northeast Asian trade, and Orthodox churches, commercial and industrial buildings coexisted with distinctive Chinese urban life. While the snow and ice architecture in winter is spectacular but seasonal, the museums, riverfront landscape and 20th-century history are important year-round. The city spans a large area, especially the 731 Site, which is far from the center. The itinerary should be organized according to areas, rather than treating all scenic spots as city center points.

深圳

Shenzhen is often summed up by speed, technology and skyscrapers, but the fuller story also includes Ming Dynasty coastal defense, Cantonese and Hakka settlements, Oyster communities, population migration and special economic zone experiments. Understanding this city requires crossing different scales: starting with the physical history of reform and opening up, observing contemporary culture in design neighborhoods accessible by the subway, and then going to wetlands, geological landscapes and old villages.
