We’ve heard many people praise China as a wonderful country that’s full of history, culture and nature. But how many of us know that China is also home to some of the most beautiful tourist spots in the world? From the Great Wall of China to the Yungang Grottoes, we have a few recommendations for you.
A pair of Ireland tourists drove to China by car. They visited famous landmarks in Beijing, such as Tiananmen, Great Wall of China, Beijing National Stadium, etc.
We can tell ourselves that the best part of Beijing is the food, the diversity of restaurants and the beauty of the city. But, really, who are we kidding? We can’t stop talking about the city’s history and landmarks, or about the people who live there. The food is great, but we’re not going to stop talking about the buildings, the history and the people. It is not a secret: China is still the most fascinating country in the world, and Beijing is a living proof of that.
For Chinese, the phrase “beijing culture” is often a very vague concept. It is broad enough to encompass various parts of Chinese culture including food and food culture. In my experience, this is one of the things that makes Beijing so unique from the rest of China: there are so many different cuisines to enjoy in the city and many of them are very different from one another. For example, I can’t think of another city where I’ve had a roasted duck with soy sauce and black vinegar, but in Beijing it’s actually quite common. Or I can’t think of another city where you can have a vegetarian dumpling, but Beijing has plenty of those as well. There’s also a lot of difference between traditional Chinese cuisine
The Yungang Grottoes is an ancient Buddhist temple dating back to the 4th century. One of the four Buddhist grottoes in China. When we arrived at the grottoes, we were amazed by the sheer size and beauty of the place. It was unbelievable that something so large and so beautiful could be hiding in the middle of nowhere. The Yungang Grottoes are located in a valley among the hills. There are two rows of caves, with over 2,000 Buddhist sculptures inside. The statues are all different, and many of them are very old. The first row of caves is called the eastern grottoes, and it has over 1,000 statues inside. The second row is called the western grottoes and it has about 1,000 statues as well. The Yungang Grottoes are an incredible.
I hope this blog post has been the start of your decision to book a trip to China. China is a beautiful country that offers so many opportunities for you and lets you see some amazing things!
