First time in China

Beijing, it's a typical Chinese city where you don't see so much of the Western impact. Everything you will see there is authentic and kept in the original style. The first day I have spent hanging out in Nanluoguxiang which is typical Hutongs area. You will find unique architecture there and beautiful narrow streets filled with cozy restaurants and stores. During my stay in Beijing I have checked out parks like Beihai Park, Tiantan Park, Ditan Park and Summer Palace. Be sure to not skip those places because you will be amazed with the nature there and the great Chinese constructions you will pass on your way. My favorite attraction in this city is Forbidden city for which you should reserve much time  as it’s the biggest complex of the palaces in the world.

Xian was the next city I have visited in China during my trip. The thing that is a total must-see and must-do is the Terracotta Army. You can take the bus from the city there or just buy an organized tour. Check out also the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and go on top of that. You will get a great panoramic view of the whole city. It is also really nice to rent a bike and cycle around the fortifications of Xian. It took me less than one hour to cycle around the whole fortifications and taking few pics on the way. 

Shanghai is probably the most European city in China in terms of architecture because it used to be a British colony back in the day. Even though there are many similarities with European cities, you will find this city to be much different.  Here are the tallest skyscrapers in China and the biggest metro web in the world. Go to the Bund and you will have a great view of the business center along the river. You will also fin here beautiful historic buildings of Shanghai and many places to go shopping or just have lunch. During the night this area  is becoming a party vibe so if you are into partying definitely go there. It’s really nice to go on the top of Shanghai Tower and see the sunset with the view of the city from the 600 m above. Yu garden it’s really nice place if you want to chill out and escape for a bit from the big city vibe.
