If you are looking for an extraordinary experience in your travels, then China is the place to be. Spanning thousands of miles that encompass vast desserts to oceans, China is certainly one of the richest countries not only monetarily but in culture, history, and geography as well. Every part of China has a history to tell because its civilization began over 5,000 years ago. But some places just truly stand out from the rest because of their significance and beauty. Here are the top 5 places to visit in China:
Great Wall ? covering over 4,000 miles, the Great Wall is certainly one of mankind?s greatest feats. Its construction also spanned many Chinese dynasties
The Terracotta Warriors ? while not as well known as the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors provide an incredible glimpse to China?s magnificent past. Thousands of life-sized terracotta figures were discovered in 1974.
Karst Mountains ? a very beautiful mountain known throughout China; visitors should not miss their chance to view nature?s beauty.
Yangtze River ? contains the Three Gorges Dam which is truly a modern marvel in dam construction. It is the world?s largest and biggest hydroelectric power station.
