China is ancient and modern, something in between. It shimmers with unique sights, customs and cultures. And it's so vast! For my first visit I will not venture to Tibet or the Yangtze River. I've picked these eight cities for now. Just to scratch the surface.

1. Hong Kong
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Region
I will take a cable car ride to Victoria Peak to see a panoramic view of the city, check out Stanley Market and jump on the Star Ferry to Kowloon. There is the Big Buddha statue and interesting monasteries on Lantau Island nearby.
2. Guilin
Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang
The Lee River with the exquisite landscapes of limestone peaks is one of China's most beautiful landscapes.
3. Shanghai
Shanghai, China
There is so much to see there - the Bund, Yu Gardens and, of course, more parks and temples.
4. Hangzhou
Hangzhou, Zhejiang
I'll take a relaxing cruise on West Lake and marvel at tranquil gardens and reflecting pools.
5. Suzhou
Suzhou, Jiangsu
This gracious old city on canals has the finest gardens and elegant temples.
6. Xian
Xi'an, Shaanxi
This is a real archeological treasure trove with its terra-cotta warriors and horses.
7. Beijing
Beijing, China
The Forbidden City and Summer Palace, the Great Wall and Ming Tombs are a must. Beijing's old city, Hutongs, is well preserved and also worth a visit.
8. Chengde
Chengde, Hebei
Not far from Beijing, there is a magnificent imperial park and impressive temples - the mountain resort of Chengde.
