China has been a hot destination for travel-lovers. But it is impossible to visit all places in China during a short time. Here some of best valued destinations are selected for you to plan your trip.

Xian Horticultural Expo

Xian Horticultural Expo will be held from April to October of 2011, therefore Xian is still a hot destination for tourists next year. There are many world-renowned spots in Xian. As for the first-time visitors, Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses is a must-see attraction. You will be amazed for its life-sized and vivid pottery figures and the great military power in Qin dynasty. Xian City Wall, built in Ming Dynasty, is the largest and best-reserved city wall in China. Bicycling along the Xian City Wall is fantastic and you can enjoy the panorama of this ancient city. Stepping into the Shaanxi History Museum is just like entering into the society of ancient people.

Shaolin Temple in Henan

Xian is not far away from Henan so that you can take an express train to visit Shaolin Temple. Chinese Kung Fu is world-famous and Shaolin Temple is the cradle of Kung Fu. The Shaoling Temple and its Pagoda Forest was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010. Besides, the White Horse Temple in Henan is another famous temple in China.

Cruise on Yangtze River

Cruise on Yangtze River will be an unforgettable experience in life. The ideal months are April, May, September and October. These ideal months are also the time when Xian Horticultural Expo will be held next year. So when you plan your China trip, you should consider it. It is usually very hot from June to August. Here I have some tips for you to plan you Yangtze River cruise.
1. Remember to take the cotton clothes. Even though in spring and summer, it is still very cold in morning and twilight.
