    If a visit to North Korea intrigues you, a stop in Shenyang may sate your curiosity. The city is an hour’s ride from the North Korean border and the connection to the country is reflected in Shenyang’s food, art and entertainment. © Stanko07 | Dreamstime.com
  • Dunhuang

  • Luoyang
    Another historically significant city to put on your radar is Luoyang, an ancient Chinese capital accessible via bullet train. Abundant archaeological sites, more grottoes, riverside scenery and artwork make Luoyang worth a stop. © Shengguangping Sheng - Dreamstime.com
  • Dalian
    If shopping is more your speed, try Dalian, sometimes called China’s fashion capital. Beyond both affordable and luxury fashion, shoppers haggle with sidewalk vendors and in boutiques over Chinese handcrafts and antiques. © Qin0377 - Dreamstime.com
  • China
    The more rural town of Yangshuo is a great destination to get away from it all. Take to the river on a bamboo boat or enjoy roaming the fishing village with its colorful streets lined with small shops and restaurants. © Irishka777 | Dreamstime.com
  • Chongqing
    Foodies love Chongqing thanks to its Sichuan cuisine. Fuel up at one of the city’s many eateries before diving into the local culture with a visit to Zhongshan Ancient Town or Fengdu Ghost City. © Li Kang Long - Dreamstime.com
