Where did you live in China for 6 months? I have lived in Beijing for 3 years and have been to some places. One of my favorite trips was the trip to Guilin and enjoying a boat ride on the Li Jiang river. Here is a photo of mine that I took:
@RadieN What was your favorite place while you lived in China?

Hey @Digitalbear ,
Welcome to Connect!
That panda bear looks so cute! I’ve always wanted to see one in real life but no luck up to this moment. Maybe if I visit China, I will get the change.
Why don’t you share more details about your stay in China? What impressed you the most? Did you celebrate Chinese New Year?

Hi @Digitalbear and welcome to Connect! 
Thank you very much for sharing this post that has brought me back to China! And thank you for the tag @TsekoV ! I also lived there for one year and it was an incredible experience! I cannot think of one most favourite place, every city and every place in China has its own amazing charm.
Did you live in Chengdu? Unfortunately I didn’t have the chance to visit this amazing city and see these cute creatures with my own eyes, but next time I go to China I definitely will! Now I can show you some photos from Shanghai where I have stayed. I’m totally in love with this city! The photos are from The Bund, Shanghai Tower and Yuyuan Garden, some of the most famous tourist attractions. Have you been there?

Hi @afrademon ,
Can you share some more details about your trip to the Stone forest (石林)? I know this place, but couldn’t go there so far. : ) What did you like most about this place? How did you go there?
Another place I love is the Hua Mountain, the sacred mountain on the West (西岳). Have you ever heard of the Sacred mountains of China? I have completed three of them.
Here are some shots of my trip to that place.
I really recommend you one day to visit this place. : )

@RadieN ,
I had the chance to visit Shanghai as well some years ago. I was there just for a few days, but got to see all of the places you recommended. It is totally worth to go there and enjoy this great city! I am sure it never sleeps.
Here is a photo of mine on the The Bund enjoying the view and taking a photo of Oriental Pearl Tower:
I know that the famous Nanjing road is the main pedestrian street in Shanghai and I am sure it is always overcrowded with people visiting the Bund.
@Zahid_opal , share with us more about your trip to China! Yunnan is an extremely beautiful province. It is also in my must-visit list in future. Which places did you visit? What did you love the most there?

hi @TsekoV … thank you for your comment.
I am one of the member of “2018 Bangladesh-China youth camp”. We roamed Yunnan province on this camp. Stone forest is soo natural and very big. inside of the park, its beautifully decorated and everyone is going with their tour guide. it’s really hard to visit all the site in a single day. on every site, you will get a different kind of view and the beauty.
they have a museum inside of the park. you can touch live stone, it feels something like cool hard wax.
if you visit Yunan, don’t miss Yunnan Ethnic village and must try Yunnan bridge rice noodles.
and one thing
don’t touch any horn of the girls of the stone forest. the girl who is single, they are wearing a special hat that has 2 horn, the girl who is engaged they are wearing 1 horn and the girl who was married they don’t have any horn. if anyone touches the horn, they have to marry that girl but first, they have to satisfy their father in law for working their home at least 2 years. hahaha
if you want to stay there, just touch the horn 
ha ha ha
I never heard about scared mountains of China. it’s really interesting to me. next time when I go to China, I would try to go there.

Hi @octpobb . Tell us about the circle stones in the water and the statue photo below. They look amazing.
The circle stones serve as a shortcut over a pond. They are quite recent and don’t have any historical value.
The only historical artefact I could find in Handan was the remains of the ancient wall (first photo). Handan was a capital of Zhao, one of the Warring States. Not much is left from that era, unfortunately.

Thank you for the details, @octpobb . The wall does look respectful. As for the stones, I just thought they were a nice design work. I thought you might have heard by who.
