Strolling along The Bund, you’ll see classic European architecture on one side and futuristic skyscrapers on the other. It’s the perfect symbol of Shanghai: modern yet rooted in heritage.
Xi‘an 西安
Xi’an, formerly Chang’an, is one of China’s most historic cities. It was the capital of 13 dynasties and the starting point of the Silk Road, connecting China to the world long before globalization had a name.
Today, Xi’an blends its historic soul with a lively modern city vibe. Walking along its ancient city walls, it's easy to imagine the echoes of poets, emperors, and traders who once passed through these same gates.
Guangzhou (Canton) 广州
Located in the southern province of Guangdong, Guangzhou has long been known as the Southern Gateway to China.
With over 2,000 years of history as a port city, it was among the first places in China to open to the world. Today, it remains a vibrant hub of commerce, culture, and cuisine, blending tradition with modern energy.
Here, East meets Southeast Asia, tradition meets innovation, and every alley smells like something delicious is cooking.
