Discover China

Spring is an ideal time to climb mountains in China, with warm weather and lush vegetation. For hikers who want to explore some famous mountains and experience Chinese history and culture, the Shenzhen Daily features some destination peaks in the articles Explore China’s famous mountains and Explore China’s famous mountains (II). I visited one of these peaks, the spectacular Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), during my trip to Henan, Anhui, and Zhejiang Provinces in 2009.

The Shenzhen Daily article Low-profile ‘beauties’ introduces three enchanting destinations:

• Banliang ancient village in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province
• Beihai in Guangxi which prides itself on its uncrowded beautiful beach and neighbouring islands
• Chaozhou in the easternmost part of Guangdong Province, a famous historical and cultural city
