Culture Places Map
Culture in China:
The Great Wall of China
9.7
Terracotta Army
9.6
Grab a map at the entrance. I missed one and ended up wandering around a bit aimlessly, which wasted some time. It really helps to know where you're going!
The audio guide is a must! It makes the experience so much richer and explains things the signs don’t. I decided against it at first and totally regretted it.
Mutianyu Great Wall of China Tower 20
9.1
Forbidden City
9
The Venetian
9
Shanghai Science and Technology Museum
8.8
Tian Tan Buddha
8.7
Ruins of St. Paul
8.4
I suggest exploring the side streets around the Ruins. You’ll find cheap street food and hidden cafes where you can relax after all the sightseeing.
If you want a unique view, climb to the top of one of the nearby hotels or walking bridges. Trust me, the skyline views of Macau are stunning!
Bring water and snacks with you. There are some shops nearby, but they can be pricey. My advice is to stock up first!
Juyong Pass
8
Po Lin Monastery
7.8
My advice is to wear comfy shoes; there's a lot of walking, and the paths can get slippery. I regretted my flip-flops - not ideal at all!
If you plan on staying for the sunset, take your time exploring before 4 PM. The golden hour view from the top is just magical! I wish I had planned better.
