西溪国家湿地公园

Xixi is a large urban wetland west of the central city of Hangzhou consisting of rivers, ponds, reed marshes, orchards, villages and local traditions. The water body covers a wide area and provides a foundation for diverse habitats. It also retains the cultural clues of fishery, sericulture, festivals and water town settlements, forming a clear ecological and rhythmic contrast with the West Lake.

圣·索菲亚教堂

The huge green dome and red brick volume of St. Sophia Church record the formation of the Orthodox community in Harbin with the development of the railway era. After conservation and restoration, the original church became an architectural art museum instead of a parish church that is still in use. The photos and urban construction materials in the museum help visitors understand it within the historical landscape composed of railway institutions, synagogues, commercial blocks, and Chinese and foreign residential buildings.

开封市博物馆

The Kaifeng Municipal Museum is the best starting point to distinguish the stages of multiple capital establishments and understand why the remains of the Northern Song Dynasty are often buried deep underground. Archaeological artifacts, models, city maps, and different versions of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" reconstruct administration, commerce, and daily life without pretending that the modern surface is anything but its original appearance. The subsequent contents of Jewish communities, guild halls, the Yellow River and local crafts also make the urban narrative transcend a single dynasty.

跑马山

Paoma Mountain is located close to the urban area of Kangding and is connected to local festivals, songs and city identity. Although it is a compact urban mountainous area, the steep slopes, elevations and ceremonial spaces still require control of pace and respect.

滇池海埂片区

Dianchi Lake is a large plateau lake that defines the southern edge of Kunming, and the sea ridge provides convenient lakeside trails and views of the Western Mountains. Wetlands, winter red-billed gulls, and ongoing ecological restoration indicate that this is a real watershed that is still being managed, rather than a static background; the access and ecological conditions of different lakeshore parks are also different.

甘肃简牍博物馆

The Gansu Bamboo Slips Museum specializes in protecting and interpreting wooden slips and bamboo slips unearthed from Gansu frontier fortress sites. Postal records, legal cases, inventory lists, and personal letters illustrate how administration and ordinary life functioned along the Silk Roads during the Han Dynasty, while conservation exhibits also illustrate why writing is fragile in humid or extremely dry environments. It shifts attention from grand artifacts to individual texts and everyday institutions and is an important addition to the provincial museum.

白沙古镇与白沙壁画

Baisha is an earlier settlement among the world heritage sites of Lijiang Ancient City, located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The religious buildings preserve murals that have been gradually formed since the 13th century, integrating Buddhism, Taoism, Naxi and other local image traditions, reflecting cultural exchanges; the surrounding residences and fields retain a smaller-scale settlement pattern than Dayan.

二里头夏都遗址博物馆

The museum displays the archaeological culture and large-scale planned settlements of Erlitou in the early second millennium BC. Turquoise craftsmanship, bronze production, palace areas, roads, and rammed earth foundations support discussions of specialized crafts and early state formation. The correspondence between the site and the Xia Dynasty recorded in documents still involves interpretation, and excavation evidence should be distinguished from later textual identification.

南京城墙与中华门

The Nanjing Ming City Wall conforms to the boundaries of mountains, rivers and palaces. It is not a regular rectangle. It is a brick defense system with outstanding preservation scale. The Zhonghua Gate contains multiple barbican and hidden soldier spaces, while other open sections present different relationships with lakes and communities. The city wall is not a continuous open trail along its entire length, so it is more reasonable to choose a section for an in-depth experience.

镇国寺

Zhenguo Temple is the third component of Pingyao World Heritage. The core Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall is a rare wooden building from the Five Dynasties that has been preserved to this day. The brackets, low roofs and early statues make this place an indispensable stop for understanding the development of Chinese wooden structures before ancient city architecture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

崂山风景区

The granite mountain of Laoshan directly faces the Yellow Sea, and the peaks, sea cliffs, valleys, villages and long-standing Taoist cultural landscapes are combined with each other. Taiqing, Yangkou, Jufeng and Beijiushui belong to a tour system with different entrances, routes and characters, and are not just a few stops on a simple loop; mountain geology, marine weather and community life together constitute its complete value.

泉州海外交通史博物馆

The Quanzhou Overseas Transportation History Museum provides a complete framework for understanding scattered heritage sites across the city. Ship models, maritime trade artifacts and religious stone carvings record navigation technology, exchange of goods, and communities from Arabia, Persia, India and other places; Song ship-related materials and multilingual inscriptions unearthed in Houzhu transformed the abstract "Maritime Silk Road" into concrete evidence of ships, people, technology and beliefs.

西岸滨江

The West Bank Riverside transforms old industrial and transportation land along the Huangpu River into a continuous public space, connecting parks, running and cycling trails, preserved industrial structures, art galleries, and contemporary buildings. Compared with the Bund, it is more open and quiet, and you can also observe Shanghai's transformation from industrial coastline to cultural coastline at the street level.

大禹陵

The site connects Kuaiji Mountain with the memory of Dayu, the flood control hero and founder of the dynasty in early Chinese tradition. Temples, inscriptions, sacrificial axes, and later monuments represent national and local commemorations of past dynasties, not archaeologically confirmed tomb life. A careful visit should distinguish between mythology, sacrificial history and physical landscape, and at the same time understand the importance of the combination of the three.

华侨城创意文化园

OCT Creative Culture Park transforms old industrial buildings into galleries, studios, design agencies, coffee shops and event spaces. The value here is not in the fixed sightseeing checklists, but in the relationship between the transformed concrete structure, green courtyard and the changes in Shenzhen’s creative economy. Exhibitions and merchants will change, which is suitable for slow observation of architecture and cultural production taking place, not just consumption.

定日珠峰观景区域

Tingri is an important node for entering the permitted tourist area on the north slope of Mount Everest, rather than a free starting point for driving to the snow-capped mountains without rules. You should check documents, roads and official connections in advance, gradually adapt to the altitude, and reserve maneuvering time for wind, snow, clouds, inspections and temporary closures.

留园

The Lingering Garden is a world heritage classical garden, famous for its sophisticated organization of buildings, rocks and scale changes. The long and narrow entrance gradually opens up to the courtyard and water surface, and the leaky windows, winding corridors and Guanyun Peak establish a line of sight. It is more compact than the Humble Administrator's Garden, but often presents more complex spatial transformations.

武汉东湖

East Lake is a vast urban lake system with many kilometers of greenways, wetlands, woodland peninsulas, gardens and university boundaries. Tingtao, Moshan and Luoyan areas have different landscapes and entrances, and it is impossible to cover them all in one casual walk; they are not only ecological habitats and urban water environment infrastructure, but also Wuhan's main leisure landscape.

厦门园林植物园

The Xiamen Garden and Botanical Garden stretches along hills, reservoirs and granite landforms, with specialized gardens for tropical plants, succulents and rainforests. The distance between each area is not short, and it is necessary to plan the route first; this is not only a scientific plant collection, but also an urban ecological space, and should not just be used as a highly staged background.

西安碑林博物馆

Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum consists of the historical Confucius Temple, a large number of inscriptions and important stone carving art. The inscriptions preserve classics, historical materials and famous calligraphy, while the tombs and Buddhist stone carvings show how images and words entered ancient political and social life. Even if you cannot read ancient texts, you can still compare different calligraphy styles, engraving techniques, and layouts.
