There are countless places you can visit in Beijing.

Part of the Forbidden Palace is now open to the public as a museum. It is a must go if you are interested in traditional Chinese culture. It is also good to check out the Olympic Park region where the 2008 Olympic Games was held. There are events in the main arena from time to time.

Munich

Image
The second place I would like to recommend is Munich, the capital city in German. This is a city with full of Western-European-style atmosphere. A lot of old-school architecture are protected entirely and most people there enjoy singing and music. If you walk through Marienplatz, you will witness an apparent number of roadside concerts and proms. Neuschwanstein Castle is about 2 hours far from Munich by train but it is still strongly recommended for traveling since it is an emblem of Germany.      Boating is available on Alpsee, the lake near Neuschwanstein Castle, where the water is clean and tourists may enjoy temporarily peace away from the social life . And eventually do not forget to try German pork knuckle as your dinner!

Barcelona

Image
Barcelona could be one of the best place for traveling in Europe.  Every morning after get up, travelers can go to Bogeria Gegantera for the breakfast with fresh fruits and oysters. This market is famous for the fresh food and fruit. Barcelona also have dominated and attractive history. Gothic style is popular and well-known in this city, as well as the Sagrada Familia which is a church and has been built for at least 300 years!  One architect of this church, Antoni Gaudi, injected his fantasy into all of his creations. Sagrada Familia In the Sagrada Familia, travelers may not stop enjoying the fascinated beauty presented by the color of windows. Blue and green means water, yellow is for brilliant, and red represents resurrection. Paella Last but not the least, don't forget to try paella, the Spain authentic seafood fired rice!
