China
One only has to look at China to see a glowing testament to what human culture can achieve. Being a modern superpower while at the same time being one of the world’s ancient civilizations has its perks, especially for tourism. You can go on a quick trip to Shanghai and enjoy all the trimmings of a modern metropolis, or go to Luoyang to get a taste of life in ancient China. Some cities even have both, such as Beijing, where the modern structures of Olympic Park are just near the historically majestic Forbidden City..
