Located in China’s eastern Zhejiang province, Shaoxing is an ancient city that possesses beautiful scenery. Known as the city of river, the city of bridge, the city of calligraphy, and the city of soul, Shaoxing attracts tourists from around the world.
The city’s network of rivers and bridges give Shaoxing another name - the Oriental Venice. Experience this one-of-a-kind Chinese town by taking a boat trip along the winding canals and rivers. The Orchid Pavilion is one of Shaoxing’s main attractions. Here is where the noted calligrapher Wang Xizhi grew up and later created his renowned style of calligraphy.
Shaoxing is the hometown of many politicians, philosophers, authors, and scientists in Chinese history. Lu Xun, arguably the most well-known writer in Chinese history, also hails from Shaoxing. His former residences and school are well-preserved in their original traditional Chinese architecture.
These sites form another main attraction for tourists who seek to appreciate one of China’s legendary novelists. In recent years, many new tourist attractions have been developed, including Jian Lake, Ke Yan, and Lu Zhen to name a few. Shaoxing is an excellent choice for travelers seeking to discover Chinese culture and history in a smaller setting. The picturesque concept of "China’s Venice" is yet another reason to make Shaoxing a stop on your journey to China.

Qingdao (青岛), or Tsingtao as it is alternatively spelled, is a beautiful coastal city at the southern tip of the Shandong Peninsula. It is a well-known holiday resort in China and one of the most beautiful cities in Asia. Lying on the Jiaozhou Bay (胶州湾) and facing the Yellow Sea (黄海), the city has been a geographically strategic stronghold that a variety of world powers have scrambled to control ever since its establishment.
Qingdao is the wealthiest city in Shandong (山东) province, which itself has the second-highest GDP of China’s provinces. The total population of about 7 million comes under the jurisdiction of the Qingdao Local Government. The urban population is 2.3 million which includes 60,000 Koreans working and/or residing in Qingdao.
Retaining much of its colonial architecture plus the modern charm, Qingdao is full of museums as well as a few temples and churches. From an architectural point of view, the city of Qingdao is practically a museum in itself. There are 24 different styles of architecture, definite European influences, and more than 200 villas in the Eight Passes area(or Badaguan-八大关). Though Confucius’s hometown is nearby, Qingdao is usually the featured stop in Shandong for tour groups, either domestic or international. The city’s unique historical background also serves as another main reason that tourists flock to Qingdao.
In discussing Qingdao, we can’t possibly forget to mention Tsingtao Beer, China’s most well-known brand both nationally and globally. Some thanks are certainly due to the Germans who established the first Tsingtao Beer brewery in 1903. Tsingtao Beer and seafood are definitely the first two things on your long must-try list when you are here. Besides feasts, shopping, and colorful nightlife, full days of exploring Qingdao still remain ahead of you...
