For many years China government did not give any permission for introducing as well as expanding tourism but finally , it has allowed to open its gate for tourism but only to some of the places. Still many places have been kept under veil, unventured and unknown. Though we have not decided to travel China in the first place but ultimately, we indeed paid a visit to this beautiful place and the experience was totally amazing. Photogenic city is China. Though we had visited there 7 years ago but i guess many have been changed now. Well due to current pandemic situation, I presume China government has taken vey strict rules and regulations for both tourism and trade and commerce. But yes, because of its scenic beauty, China is a must have in the bucket list.
Well, the tour starts with Xian. It is a large city and capital of Shaanxi province in central China. Changan was marked the silk road and once was a home to Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties' ruling houses. In Xian we will see ---
Xian city wall or fortification of Xian is the most complete city wall that has survived in China as well being one of the largest ancient military defence systems in the world. It was built in 1370.
It is a Buddhist pagoda located in southern Xian, Shaanxi province of China. It was built in 652 during the Tang dynasty. The original Pagoda was built during the reign of emperor Gaozong of Tang but it's stone exterior facade collapsed five decades later. This Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was extensively repaired during the Ming Dynasty and renovated again in 1964.
The terracotta army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China. The emperor constructed his mausoleum because he wanted to conquer death - his obsession with immortality. Most importantly, it is attended by an army including over 7000 terracotta warriors, horses, chariots and weaponary intended to protect him in his after life.
GLIMPSES OF OLD CHINA:
People say that the real culture of Beijing lies in the culture of Hutong and Siheyuan. They give an insight to the old lifestyle of ordinary Beijingers. The term "hutong" appeared first Yuan dynasty, meaning "water well". Some of those buildings are coloured as red buildings as a symbol of communist party and old rickshaws are the only transport offered for visiting those hutongs. One can see river flowing by beside those hutongs.
PACKAGE COSTS:
Few package tours are there for China trip like 9n/10d costs INR 99,999(per person) OR may be some customized package tour of 5n/6d costs around INR 46,000 (per person) including meals, accommodation, sight seeing.
So if someone feels like getting the flavour of this Asian photogenic country then can add China in their list of travel destinations.
