» Beijing
If your visions of Beijing are centered around pods of Maoist revolutionaries in buttoned-down tunics performing exercise in Tiananmen Square, put them to rest: this city has embarked on a new millennium rollercoaster and it's taking the rest of China with it. Today's youth are more interested in MTV than Mao …

» Hangzhou
Often visited as a day trip from nearby Shanghai, Hangzhou has much more to see and do than is possible to fit into one day.

» Guilin
Guilin has become more of a residential area than a tourist destination over the past few years, except for the river and city-moat/artificial lake area in the center of town.

Xian, with a 6,000-year history, was known as Chang'an in ancient times. For over 1,000 years the city has been capital for 13 dynasties, and a total of 73 emperors ruled here.
