Asia. Hangzhou. Topped with a golden spire, the eye-catching Leifeng Pagoda can be climbed for fine views of the lake. The original pagoda, built in AD 977, collapsed in 1924. During renovations in 2001, Buddhist scriptures written on silk were discovered in the foundations, along with other treasures. There's now a lift and an escalator to ...
China, Asia.

Millions of migrants have been drawn to its golden gates from the Chinese countryside since the ...

Tai Kwun, Hong Kong’s behemoth heritage and arts complex, is a delight to visit even if you bypass the charging gallery and upscale restaurants. The neoclassical police station-magistracy-prison-in-one complex (c.1840s) has been meticulously restored with extensions added by Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron. You can roam freely in most of the ...
The charming Tai Ping Shan St neighborhood deserves a visit either on a detour from Tai Kwun or PMQ, or on its own. From Hollywood Road, turn into Ladder St when you see Man Mo Temple(or have a look inside before turning – it’s photogenic). Then make a right into Square St where a funeral shop sells shiny wood coffins. At the end of Square St, turn...
Sham Shui Po (SSP), a former manufacturing hub, has developed into one of the most quintessentially Hong Kong districts in recent years. While it remains a working-class neighborhood that many visit in order to buy knock-off drones and bargain garments, community-minded artists, cafe owners and third-generation entrepreneurs have infused it with a ...
Almost 70% of Hong Kong is officially green – urban hills, country parks and surf-beaten coastlines (some cradling beaches), all free and within an hour from the city center. You can also hike up to Victoria Peak and Po Lin Monastery to enjoy trillion-dollar views (plus Big Buddha) for nothing. For those with less time, there are urban oases like H...

While you’re there, take a look at the gorgeously restored art deco bui...

China, Asia. Top choice in French Concession. Tianzifang and Xintiandi are based on a similar idea – an entertainment complex housed within a warren of lòngtáng (弄堂, alleyways). Unlike Xintiandi, families actually reside in Tianzifang and have done so for decades, meaning there's a genuine charm, vibrancy and community.
Asia. Qingdao. This museum is one of Qingdao’s best examples of concession-era architecture – the former German governor’s residence constructed in the style of a German palace. The building’s interior is characteristic of Jugendstil, the German arm of art nouveau, with some German and Chinese furnishings of the era.
