The food, the ancient culture, and, of course, the Great Wall, right? While these are definite bucket-list items every traveller should check off on their visit to this amazing country, there\u2019s something to be said about getting off the beaten path in China. Not only will you avoid the infamous crowds in the major cities, you\u2019ll return home with a unique understanding of what China is all about. If you\u2019re looking for an experience that will leave you feeling enriched, refreshed, and ready newly interested in what unexpected parts of the world have to offer, our guide to visiting China off the beaten path has everything you need to get started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/d\/china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">China <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Venture from the coast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Travellers who imagine visiting China are often picturing the country\u2019s famous coastal cities, such as Shanghai, or the densely-populated capital city of Beijing. What travellers may not realize, however, is there are endless cultural experiences to be had away from these major hubs! If you\u2019re looking for a new way to travel through China (along with new things to see, do, taste, and try), consider paying a visit to one of these lesser-visited areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Yading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><em>Perfect for: <\/em><\/strong><em>nature lovers<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for Shangri-La?

He was so inspired by the photos Joseph Rock took of the Yading Nature Reserve that he based his place of unimaginable beauty on this gorgeous corner of China. Also known as the Land of Snows, Yading treats travellers to treks on three holy mountains, strolls through peaceful monasteries, and some seriously incredible views along the way. Travellers should note that Yading sits at an altitude as high as 3,750 feet (12,303 feet), and anticipate the possible altitude sickness that can occasionally accompany that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/homestay-in-southeast-asia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What to Expect at a Homestay in Southeast Asia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jingdezhen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><em>Perfect for: <\/em><\/strong><em>history buffs<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever heard the phrase <em>fine china? <\/em>Jingdezhen is its birthplace.

When you travel with an experienced tour guide, they know all the best places to visit, from the gems hidden away in the bustling city centres to the amazing, lesser-visited places you didn\u2019t even know existed. Travelling off the beaten path helps lessen pollution and other damages that can be done by some forms of tourism, gives local economies a boost, and gives travellers amazing memories they couldn\u2019t get any other way &#8211; what\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Where would you most like to visit in China?<\/em><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do you picture when you imagine visiting China?
