Beijing 北京
As the capital of China for more than 800 years, Beijing is a city where history and modern life intertwine. From ancient imperial palaces to futuristic skyscrapers, every street offers a glimpse into China’s rich and evolving story.
Whether you're walking through the narrow alleys of a traditional hutong or standing beneath the towering gates of the Forbidden City, you’re never far from something meaningful.
Shanghai 上海
Shanghai is China’s window to the world — a city where tradition and innovation collide in dazzling harmony.
Once a quiet fishing village, it has transformed into a global metropolis known for its iconic skyline, dynamic lifestyle, and international flair.
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, once known as Chang’an, is one of the oldest cities in China — and was the capital for over 1,000 years across 13 dynasties. It was also the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, making it a true crossroads of cultures, ideas, and stories.
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 a history of over 2,000 years as a port city, it was one of the first places in China to open up to the world — and it still leads today as a center of commerce, culture, and cuisine.
Here, East meets Southeast Asia, tradition meets innovation, and every alley smells like something delicious is cooking.
