Visiting Hanging Temple of HengshanThe hanging temple is found 60km Southwest of

Datong, Shanxi province in China and it’s probably one of the forgotten wonders of the world. It was built in the 5th century during the late Northern

Wei Dynasty by Liao Run, and it was built on a cliff. It clings to Hengshan mountain and apparently, it is defiant of gravity, it has 40 room which is linked

together by passageways that can be dizzying

Three Natural BridgesThere are three natural bridges remaining post-

sinkhole, and they include Black Dragon, Azure/Green Dragon and Sky Dragon. They

were originally caves until the ground collapsed leaving such beautifully stunning natural stone

bridges that can only be found in China.

Red SeaBeachA visit to the world’s largest wetland area will be all worth it since you will be able to see how the

whole area looks like and has been occupied with “red weed.” The rare plant Chenopodium,

which is a member of Amaranthaceae, has formed a unique landscape and the area is also

home to some endangered bird species.

China WonderlandThis is a rational version of Beijing Disneyland although it is now very much abandoned. It is

just 45 minutes from Beijing, a project that was started as an amusement park but halted along

the way due to money matters. This fantasy-land is quite fascinating though not open to the

public and pretty much abandoned.

Riding through Beijing in a SidecarIt can be quite fascinating to take a trip down Beijing in an open-air sidecar which will give

you a great view of the skyscrapers juxtaposed along back streets and winding alleys that are

quite ancient. With this tour you will be able to navigate among siheyuan courtyards which are

mainly shared by Chinese families.

Riding a camel Across Dunhuang Dunes.Dunhuang is a city found in Gansu Province

quite near Xinjiang border and it’s surrounded by camel rides, sand dunes, Mogao Caves and it is a less traveled area in Western China but with

such a rich experience. It is renowned for its camel rides which people use as a fun way to

travel around this beautiful landscape

Visiting Huashan TeahouseThis is found at the mountaintop and offers a fine

cup of tea for the visitors who have luck at surviving the journey. It is found in the southern peak of

china’s Holy Mountain Hua, and it’s a Daoist and Buddhist temple that provides refreshments to

anybody who is bold enough to reach the peak of one of the World’s most dangerous hiking paths.

Cooking Dumplings in A local KitchenThere are several gigs run where you can take dumpling-

making lessons and at the home of a local. She’ll just teach you how to put the filling and roll out the dough. It’s quite hard and requires patience but ultimately one of the most fulfilling and fun things to do in China. The beauty of this tour is not only in getting a look at the traditional Chinese cuisine but also at the homes and

lives of everyday citizens in a real neighborhood and of course, you get to eat what you’ve cooked.

Go KaraokeThis is a staple of the Chinese social fabric, and

the locals adore them. The venues are all along the streets or in hotels and are labeled

KTV. Pay for a private room with microphones, audio-visual equipment, a TV and couches and

bond with fries over music, drinks and food.

Drinking Oil Tea with Ethnic minorities on the Rice Terraces near Guilin.

Regardless of whether you are an oil tea fan or not, the experience will be quite eye-opening as you will get to enjoy a whole different way of life. Walking

through the beautiful Longsheng cultivated terraces and tasting the local food and drinks can be quite

fulfilling. It might not be the typical way you spend your weekend or holiday but just the perfect way to

learn more about different cultures and people.
