Four Fun Attractions in China
By:Jason Martin

So, you're thinking of venturing off to China, but you're not sure what to do there. Today, I'll present you with four fun attractions to check out if you're in China and heading to these areas.

The Great Wall of China

If you're visiting China for the first time, a trip to the Great Wall of China is a must. It was built more than 2,000 years ago and it's still there for you to enjoy. My advice would be to get a tour guide.

Terra Cotta Warriors

See the famous Terra Cotta warriors in Xi'an, China. This attraction will cost a few bucks. Last I looked, it was about $11 USD or RMB90 to visit during the peak time.

Along the way to see the warriors there are many great sights to see. Oh, you can forget taking your camera. They are not allowed for the actual warrior display. It's still a must-see attraction.

Yunnan Stone Forest

If you're into interesting items of nature, here you go. The Yunnan Stone Forest is located in Kunming—capital of Yunnan. This now-attraction dates back to the Ming Dynastry.

It's definitely something to check out. This is one of those attractions that you want to devout 2-4 hours to. Admission to the forest costs $17 USD and it's open during normal hours—about 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Potala Palace

This white palace stands out from the landscape. It's an amazing structure with magnificent detail. It's the Dalai Lama's home. Part of this palace—the Red Palace—has roofs made of gold!

It only costs 5 bucks to get in and you'll be treated to a real treasure—there are literally treasures inside.

These four fun attractions are located all over China. While you could go see them all, I'd recommend focusing on one or two and enjoying your time there. There's so much history that you don't want to treat the place like Disneyland where you just walk through and go home.
