This trip really took us through the heart of China's history. Beijing's major sites like the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven are all must-sees, and the Great Wall at Badaling was an unforgettable adventure. The peaceful Kunming Lake Boat Ride at Summer Palace was the perfect way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. I really enjoyed wandering through Nanluoguxiang and the Shichahai Area – they gave a nice local vibe to our Beijing experience.

The next few days were full of rich history, especially in Pingyao and Xi'an. The Terracotta Warriors were as impressive as expected, and the Muslim Quarter added a nice cultural touch. We also loved the visit to Shaolin Temple and learning about its history. Finally, Huangshan was breathtaking – the views were absolutely stunning. Ending in Shanghai was a nice touch, with the skyline at the Bund providing the perfect finale to our trip.
