Move over, dumplings and skylines—China’s cultural gems are ready for their spotlight! The China Tourism Academy is urging foreign visitors to dive deeper into the nation’s rich heritage, shifting focus from tasty bites and cityscapes to museums and galleries.
🎙️ \"Most travelers come for the food and urban vibes, but there’s a whole universe of history and art waiting to be explored,\" said Dai Bin, president of the Academy, in a chat with CMG. Think less ‘Instagrammable snacks’ and more ‘time-traveling through dynasties’!
From Beijing’s Palace Museum to Shanghai’s Power Station of Art, the push highlights how China’s 5,000-year-old culture can rival any Marvel Cinematic Universe 🎥—just with more porcelain vases and fewer capes.
🌏 For young globetrotters and culture vultures, this means fresh itineraries blending ancient traditions with modern creativity. Pro tip: Imagine channeling your inner K-drama lead while strolling through a Song Dynasty garden. 📸
