集美学村

Jimei Mei Village originated from the educational institution founded by overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee. The campus and public buildings combine southern Fujian roofs, arcades and modern structures into a distinctive Kah Kee style. It still serves an educational function today, and its value lies in the continued use of a public cultural landscape rather than a closed building park.

大明宫国家遗址公园

Daming Palace was the main palace of Chang'an City for a long time in the Tang Dynasty. Today's large heritage parks interpret the capital palace complex that no longer exists intact on the surface through architectural foundations, scale restoration, museums and landscape signs. The open distance can present Chang'an's planning and power space more realistically than small antique buildings.

西宁野生动物园

The park introduces highland wildlife such as snow leopards, Pallas's cats and black-necked cranes, along with work to protect them. Rescue and veterinary stories add context, but individual animals may be off display for welfare reasons. Focus on habitats and conservation rather than expecting a close-up photograph of a particular animal.

漓江兴坪段

The Xingping section of the Li River passes through the Guilin karst landscape, with tower-shaped and cone-shaped peaks covered with vegetation rising directly from the alluvial valley. Boats, villages and farmland provide scale to a landscape shaped by long-term limestone dissolution and river erosion. The famous composition is a real landscape rather than a fixed studio, and its appearance changes significantly with water levels, light, clouds and seasons.

北京钟鼓楼

The Bell and Drum Tower of Beijing is located at the northern end of the historical central axis. It used evening drums and morning bells to manage the time order of the ancient capital. After climbing the building, you can not only observe the wooden buildings and ancient timekeeping facilities, but also overlook the dense alley roofs, and identify the direction of Jingshan and Miyagi along the central axis to the south.

宽窄巷子

Kuanzhai Alley retains a group of courtyard streets and alleys in the original Mancheng area of Chengdu's old city. It has now been transformed into a pedestrian commercial area integrating teahouses, snacks, retail and cultural displays. This is a suitable place to observe the scale of the courtyard and the commercial use of heritage, but one should not mistake the uniformly operated tourist block for an unaltered residential alley.

大足石刻

The Dazu Rock Carvings consist of several protected areas and were mainly excavated between the ninth and thirteenth centuries AD. The cliff statues in Baoding Mountain, Beishan and other places use their exquisite art, inscriptions and scenes of daily life to form a unique dialogue between Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The entire series of heritage cannot be summarized by just one famous statue.

雷峰塔景区

Leifeng Pagoda is located in Xizhao Mountain on the south bank of West Lake. It is an important component of the traditional famous scenery of West Lake. The current building protects the ruins of the old pagoda while providing an elevated perspective on the relationship between the lake, embankments and surrounding mountains; its cultural influence also comes from the long-standing legend of the White Snake.

侵华日军第七三一部队罪证陈列馆

Through archives, artifacts, archaeology and preserved buildings, this museum and its associated sites document Unit 731's biological-warfare program, human experimentation and war crimes. It is a place of remembrance and historical responsibility, not an entertainment attraction. The exhibits can be distressing; allow enough time, visit quietly and treat the people represented with respect.

开封城墙

The main body of the existing city wall belongs to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a layer of the city that was repeatedly buried and rebuilt after the Yellow River floods. Gates, walls and archaeological evidence illustrate how later defensive structures were superimposed on earlier capital layers. A short walk will help you understand the "city on top of the city", but it cannot be directly called the original city wall of Tokyo City in the Northern Song Dynasty.

中国人民解放军海军博物馆

The Naval Museum displays the development of China's modern navy through documents, equipment, aircraft and large ships anchored in Qingdao Bay. Outdoor shipboard and indoor historical exhibits connect technology to the nation's maritime history, and the bayfront location makes it easy to compare military, commercial, and public uses of the same harbor.

龙华寺与龙华塔

Longhua Temple and the seven-story Longhua Pagoda together constitute an important Buddhist historical space in Shanghai. The existing tower retains the architectural features of the Song Dynasty. It adds an earlier historical layer to the Shanghai itinerary that is often dominated by modern narratives, and the surrounding neighborhoods can also naturally connect to the West Bank Riverside.

华清宫

Huaqing Palace is located in the hot spring area at the foot of Lishan Mountain, superimposing the royal palace, the memory of the Tang Dynasty court and the political events of the 20th century. The Tang Dynasty Yutang ruins and cultural narratives related to Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei coexist with the remains of the 1936 Xi'an Incident. When visiting, you need to distinguish between historical evidence, later literary imagination and performing arts expressions.

青海湖

Qinghai Lake is a plateau saltwater lake and an important habitat for migratory birds. The vast lakeshore belongs to multiple management areas and is not an open beach that can be driven into at will. Formal roads and viewing points should be used, stay away from the core area of ​​the wetland, and wild animals should not be chased, touched or inappropriately fed.

相公山

Located above the great bend of the Li River, Xianggong Mountain is a steep karst viewing point where you can see how river channels, alluvial flats and clusters of limestone peaks interlock. Views depend on the weather and sunrise is not guaranteed; clouds may obscure distant mountains, and mist may enhance the terrain. The climbing distance is not long and the view reward is high, but the space at the top of the mountain is limited.

什刹海

Shichahai is composed of Qianhai, Houhai, Xihai and surrounding historical districts. It is one of the relatively well-preserved open spaces in the old city of Beijing. Lakeshores, alleys, former residences of celebrities, temples and royal gardens jointly present multi-level urban life, rather than a single fee-based attraction. There are obvious differences in the atmosphere between early morning, afternoon and night.

都江堰水利工程

Dujiangyan is a water conservancy system that was built in the third century BC and is still in operation today. It regulates the Min River and distributes water to the Chengdu Plain. Yuzui, Feishayan and Baopingkou show how to use topography, river channels and seasonal flows instead of traditional dams to achieve water diversion, sand discharge and flood control. The surrounding temples and mountain roads also retain the historical memories of those who controlled the water.

武隆喀斯特

Wulong is part of the Karst World Natural Heritage in South China. The high-level inland karst has been uplifted and eroded to form huge sinkholes, natural bridges, canyons and caves. Landscapes such as Tiansheng Sanqiao can intuitively represent the geological scale, but Wulong's scenic spots are distributed in vast mountainous areas and are not a compact park.

南宋德寿宫遗址博物馆

The Deshou Palace Ruins Museum of the Southern Song Dynasty displays the residence of the abdicated emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty in Lin'an City. Protected building foundations, archaeological stratigraphy, digital restorations and palace life displays help the audience understand the palace space without disguising the site as a complete ancient building, and add key urban history to the West Lake landscape narrative.

苏州河城市漫步

Walking along the Suzhou River, one can understand Shanghai through bridges, warehouses, apartment buildings and newly connected waterfront spaces. The downstream section near Waibaidu Bridge and the Postal Museum is densely populated with modern urban history, while different sections upstream show how infrastructure and industrial land are transformed into daily public spaces.
