From sultry forests that spread into Myanmar to the icy steppes of Inner Mongolia, China<\/a><\/strong> borders 14 other countries, more than any other nation. It has four times the population of the USA, and your shoes were probably made there. It is, in other words, so much more than just a famous wall. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, t<\/span>he Great Wall really is a site to behold, but it\u2019s not the only adventure to be had in China. Here are 7 epic, wall-free experiences you can have in \u2018The Middle Kingdom.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Eating Chongqing hotpot, the spiciest dish known to man<\/h2>\n

Well, the spiciest dish known to this man, anyway. Most people who haven\u2019t visited China \u2013\u00a0and even some who have \u2013\u00a0have never heard of Chongqing, but it\u2019s actually the biggest city in China by population! With almost <\/span>50 million people<\/span><\/em> calling this city home, it\u2019s larger than most European countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without question, the most epic experience in Chongqing is their most famous dish: hot pot. The concept is simple. You take a big, bubbling pot of oil. Into it, you pour as many red chilis as it can take. Then, dump in a few scoops Sichuan pepper \u2013\u00a0these harmless looking peppercorns tingle the tongue and eventually numb your whole mouth. Finally, dip in your favorite meat, vegetables and intestines, and enjoy being incinerated from the inside out. (It’s probably worth mentioning that it is delicious, too.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ChinaMy favorite Chongqing hot pot house is referred to simply as the one on \u2018\u82b1\u5e02\u8def\u2019 Hua Shi Lu \u2013\u00a0Flower Market Street. It\u2019s a bit hard to find, but everyone seems to know it, so ask a local for directions. I went there first in 2014 and then again last year, and from the chili-stained ceiling to the sweating, red-faced locals, it\u2019s an authentic experience at every level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wandering the former French Concession in Shanghai<\/h2>\n

Far from the grimy streets of Chongqing, Shanghai is a shining city on the sea. The ‘French Concession’ was governed by France from just after the Second Opium War in the mid 19th century until the Second World War, when power over the besieged city was handed over to Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, the <\/span>former<\/span><\/i> French Concession is very much run by China. Chinese flags are hung from all street lamps on National Day, and the futuristic Shanghai Library is frequently draped in bright red propaganda posters, adorned with the communist hammer and sickle. And yet, it still retains a distinct feel from the rest of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FrenchTree-lined avenues wind past boutique fashion stores, elegant cafes and high end international bars and restaurants. Don\u2019t know where to start? Hop the metro to Shanghai Library, and then wander along Huaihai Road, hang a left at Wulumuqi where live crabs scuffle in their tanks, and then turn left again onto the charming Wuyuan Road.<\/span><\/p>\n

Circumnavigating Barkhor Square in Lhasa in the company of monks and pilgrims<\/h2>\n

Monks wander in resplendent orange and yellow robes, donkeys clop along the streets, and devout Buddhists fling themselves feverishly on the ground. Add in the crisp mountain air and the effects of the altitude, and you\u2019ll feel like you have arrived somewhere truly extraordinary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barkhor Square wraps itself around the famous Jokhang Temple in the Tibetan (as oppose to Han Chinese) part of Lhasa, in China\u2019s Tibetan Autonomous Region. Devotees take a spiritual path around the square, with everyone journeying in the same direction. Like a whirlpool, it\u2019s easy to find yourself swept away, walking in step with monks and pilgrims.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lhasa<\/p>\n

Much of Tibet is difficult to visit for foreigners \u2013\u00a0you need a permit and have to travel in group, under the watchful eyes of a government-approved guide. But once you arrive in Lhasa (you can go with Intrepid<\/strong>!), you\u2019ll find yourself more or less free to wander the streets at your own pace. Just beware of the food: Yak meat can be tough on the teeth!<\/span><\/p>\n

Riding a boat across West Lake in Hangzhou<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s about time nature got itself on this list. West Lake or \u2018Xi Hu\u2019 in Hangzhou is exactly what you\u2019d hope for in an Asian lake: calm, tranquil, pagodas rising out of the water, wooden boats lazily drifting across the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

A UNESCO world heritage site, West Lake is very much on the map, and can sometimes feel cramped with visitors. The good news is that the lake is huge, and if you\u2019re feeling fit and prepared to walk the entire circumference, there are plenty of spots where the crowds thin, and you can enjoy the lake as it should be.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"HangzhouCatch one of the many boats into middle the lake and explore the \u2018Three Pools Mirroring the Moon\u2019. These three pagodas, which sit in the middle of the lake, were built by the legendary poet Su Shi in the 11th century. If you\u2019ve been to China, chances are you\u2019ve already seen them, because they\u2019re on the back on the 1 RMB note!<\/span><\/p>\n

Swimming in Sanya on Hainan Island<\/h2>\n

Feeling cold? Trust us, and head south. Off the coast of Guangzhou and closer to Vietnam, Laos and Thailand than the capital, Beijing, Hainan is arguably the largest Chinese island \u2013\u00a0that is, if you don\u2019t count Taiwan (which China very much does!).<\/span><\/p>\n

The capital city on the island is Haikou. Though gritty and not particularly charming by day, by night it asserts itself as one of China\u2019s weirdest and most hedonistic clubbing scenes. But most visitors are right to head to Sanya, on the southern end of the island, where the real fun begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"SanyaThe sea is warm, the seafood is fresh, and there\u2019s even a beautiful lookout point, Luhuitou Park. Meaning \u2018the deer who turned its head,\u2019 the park is themed around the myth of a hunter who chased a deer until it transformed into a beautiful woman. Of course, they fell in love, and lived happily ever after.<\/span><\/p>\n

A large statue of the deer stands at the top of the lookout point and is lit up at night. Beware cuddling couples and the local monkeys, they bite! (The monkeys, that is.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Live out a Marxist nightmare\/ fantasy in Nanjie<\/h2>\n

Ready for something a bit\u2026 different? Back on the mainland, you\u2019ll find Nanjie Cun, China\u2019s last Maoist commune. A small town in the province of Henan, the central square is dominated by a white marble statue of Mao Zedong. On each corner are enormous portraits of communist heroes: Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, Friedrich Engels and Vladimir Lenin.<\/p>\n

You enter the city by driving under a gigantic artificial rainbow. There\u2019s just one hotel, near the main square. It\u2019s a bit dusty, there are cigarette burns in the sheets, and from within you can still hear the shrill propaganda music blaring out of the main square. You\u2019d be forgiven for thinking you\u2019re in North Korea<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"China\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the most picturesque or pleasant part of China, but it is undeniably fascinating. I visited in 2012 as part of a two-week journey in the country. We just stayed one night \u2013\u00a0you wouldn\u2019t want to there much longer!<\/p>\n

Witnessing one of thousands of Mahjong games on the streets on Chengdu<\/h2>\n

Most people come to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, for the pandas. The \u2018Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding\u2019 is well worth the trip.\u00a0But there\u2019s far more to Chengdu than just these animals.\u00a0<\/span>In stark contrast with the energetic cities of Shanghai and Beijing, Chengdu is famous for taking things at its own pace. Wander the streets and stroll through People\u2019s Park, and you\u2019ll see the locals passing time in traditional ways. Old men practice calligraphy with water on the pavement, women dance in groups, some people get their ears cleaned. Others play Mahjong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Played in groups of four with an elaborate collection of painted tiles, Mahjong originated in China during the Qing Dynasty. Chengdu’s zeal for the game is well-known \u2013\u00a0some people joke that you can see the tiles from the air as your plane approaches the airport!<\/span><\/p>\n
