China is just immense - the world's most populated country and it offers endless opportunities. World Heritage Sites wise, China offers a lot. However I am going to talk about some of the lesser known ones, off the beaten track world heritage sites in China. Fasten your seatbelts, this isn't a lecture about Tiananmen Square and the Terracotta Warriors as I go well off the beaten track.
1. Fujian Tulou Buildings in Fujian Province, China - situated is deep countryside with valleys and mountains all around, this is a splendid set of old style buildings known as Tulou. There are hundreds of them and they were built to house full families and Chinese clans back in the day. You can go inside most of them and they are not too busy or touristic, especially for those non-Chinese. This makes your visit seem so special and amazing. A great heritage site! []
Short Guide - Head to the city of Yongdong first and from there organise a tour out to the buildings. A local company will run buses or you can also hire a driver if you need. The chance to see these buildings if you're in Fujian should not be missed. You can also bargain with the price of the tour with your driver.
2. Danxia Mountains in Guangdong Province, CHINA: These are hidden in a very no-obvious part of the north Guangdong Province. A splendid range of hills and rock formations in Chinese wilderness. It's not a place to get a guided tour but head there yourself and do the awesome hikes - one for sunset and one for sunrise - the views are spectacular!
Easy Guide- Head to Shaoguan in China and then get a bus from the main bus station out to the Danxia mountains - you will probably arrive at a resort called Jin Jiang or Yao Tang village. You can stay the night there and use it as your base to do the hiking. Don't miss penis rock on the hikes!
3. The Kaiping Dialou in the Guangdong Province of China: A country as big as China you will be surprised that there are so many world heritage sites you haven't even heard of! These buildings are totally epic and worth a trip - scattered all over the nearby towns and villages to the city of Kaiping, you can enjoy some old style buildings in the peaceful countryside! []
A Quick Guide - to see the excellent Dialou Buildings, you firstly need to stay in the city of Kaiping. There are a few hotels in the city centre, we stayed in the Milan Hotel and organised things from there. Pick up a leaflet and enqire abut tours or hire your own driver and get out there!
That's my rundown on these 3 excellent unknown World Heritage Sites in China - head out and check them out!
