InterPore2020: Experience China

There are less than eight months to go until the InterPore2020! Have you already scheduled your trip to China? How about enjoying a tour of the sights in China before or after the conference? We have some recommendations ready for you.

Firstly, Qingdao – the host city of InterPore2020 – is one of your first choices for trips in Shandong province. You will not only appreciate the beautiful scenery of the sea and beaches, but also enjoy the world-famous Tsingtao beer. Alternatively, Mount Tai and Qufu are the must-see sights in Shandong. On the top of Mount Tai – leader of the “Five Taoist Mountains in China”, you can visit South Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Street, Jade Emperor Peak, Inscription on the Cliff, and Sun Rising Peak. In Qufu – the hometown of Confucius, you can explore the Confucian culture.

If you would like to extend your trip in China, there is no doubt that the two ancient capital cities of China – Beijing & Xi’an – as well as the most developed city – Shanghai – are the best choices for you.

Beijing, the massive capital city of China for centuries, offers you much to discover and explore. You can visit the Forbidden City to witness the history of mighty imperial ancient China, hike the incredible Great Wall, and wander along the traditional hutongs to experience the authentic local life.

Xi’an, the capital of 13 ancient Chinese dynasties where 73 emperors once ruled, is undisputedly the perfect representation of Chinese dynastic history and culture. Massive brilliant historical ruins, museums and cultural relics have been found both under and on the ground of Xi’an. You will be amazed by the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, impressive Big Wild Goose Pagoda, distinctive Muslim Street, precipitous Mount Hua, and enchanting Huaqing Hot Spring.

Shanghai, regarded as the Oriental Paris, is the best place to see the East-meets-West Culture. Walk in the traditional Chinese garden – Yuyuan Garden & Bazaar – and wander along the charming exhibition of international architecture at the Bund where you will find a splendid combination of East and West, as well as tradition and modernity.
