Must-see attractions

Museum of Contemporary Art & Planning Exhibition

　　One of those thrillingly space-age, 'only in China' architectural projects, this gargantuan exhibition space designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au anchors Shenzhen’s Fútián Cultural District.

Jiankou Great Wall

　　For stupefying hikes along perhaps Beijing’s most incomparable section of Wall, head to Jiankou, where white-knuckle sections like ‘Upward Flying Eagle’ and ‘Heavenly Ladder’ will make you marvel at just how they built the thing in the first place.

Luoyang Old Town

　　Any Chinese city worth its rice has an Old Town.
