Shanghai by night
[:en] Shanghai was the last stop of this amazing trip to China. I wanted to show you my favorite moment of this city: Shanghai by night! There are colors and lights all night on the skyscrapers. If you are brave enough, you can go up to the top of the tower in the picture below, in the Pudong quarter. The elevator works with a magnet system, and it only takes one minute to go up to the 100th floor. Below this building there is a very nice street where you can walk and you can see the Bund and its lights. I found amazing that in Shanghai there are so…

South China pearl museum
[:en] I have some news from my trip to China, after visiting the Li river on the cruise and the Cave of the Reed Flute as you saw in the previous posts, I went to the South China Pearl Museum of Guilin. China is always been one of the major producers of good quality pearls, and Guilin happens to be one of the places where pearls are made. The pearls, the dresses and of course the models were stunning, I really enjoyed this pearls runway. After the pearls show, I couldn’t keep myself from choosing a pearls necklace that it’s not so common to see in Europe, I promise that I will…

[:en]On the Li River cruise[:it]Crociera sul fiume Li[:]
[:en] In the previous post I have shown you the wonderful pictures of Guilin, including the Li river in the top of the list of the things to see in Guilin. This time I’m on the Li river cruise, I absolutely loved this experience, especially to see these beautiful landscape and the mountains. I found this outfit perfect for this, the weather wasn’t very warm and it was a little windy. I was wearing a black Silvian Heach tunic with an H&M striped jacket with a black ribbon designed on it, and I’ve chosen to wear jeans and boots for this experience. It was nice to be there, besides, the view was amazing! [:it]…

[:en]What to see in Xi’an (part 2)[:it]Cosa vedere a Xi’an (parte 2)[:]
[:en] What to see in Xian, as I was telling you in the previous post about Xi’an, this time I’m showing the pictures of the army of terracotta and the Wild Goose Pagoda and its wonderful garden. I absolutely loved the gong, it must be hitten three times and make a wish. I’ve had the chance to go around Xi’an at night, it’s a safe city with a nice nightlife. The shops close at 23:00, at that time there were people skating, there was a beautiful atmosphere. I also went to the Tang Dinasty Theater, if you are already followers of Instagram you probably saw the pictures of the show.…

[:en]Discovering the Hutong in Beijing[:it]Gli Hutong di Pechino[:]
[:en]This is a sequel of the posts-saga “What to see in Beijing part 1–2“, but I really didn’t feel like naming this post “what to see in Beijing part 3”! This time I’m showing you the Hutongs of Beijing, more specifically in the Xicheng District. The Hutongs are the small streets and they are not only in Beijing. This quarter is very important because it’s the only part of the Beijing that remained untouched by the modernity of the city as we see it today. It’s very nice to walk around these streets, and I suggest you to visit the Olympic Homestay, which is a well preserved home and you…
