Hamburg and Northern Germany - the ideal destination for the
Chinese Traveller

What are the first things that come to mind when you think of
Hamburg? Probably the city's stunning location on the Elbe and Alster
Rivers, the colorful activity in the St. Pauli entertainment
district, unforgettable musicals, a night at the theater, Michaelis
Church (colloquially "der Michel") or the impressive harbor. Hamburg,
1,200 years old, is loved both for its contemporary scene as well as
for its cultural offerings. In between traditional trading houses and
renowned theaters, the latest trends are always cropping up. Hamburg
lies open to many streams of influence. With city-state traditions
reaching back for centuries, it has always played a special political
and cultural role. Today, as a key commercial hub, an international
harbor and a media and cultural center, the metropolis on the Elbe
River with its one million inhabitants is once again pursuing ancient
traditions with typically Hanseatic aplomb. This comes as no
surprise: Germany's second largest city offers a high quality of life
and international flair.

One should also not miss the opportunity to visit other beautiful
places in Northern Germany: The magnificent historical cities
Schwerin, which braved all historical storms by the typical
Mecklenburgian calmness, and where you find an incomparable ensemble
of landscape and architecture with its fairytale castle - Lübeck, the
city of brick stone with its world-famous Holstentor, which was named
a UNESCO World Heritage Site - Lüneburg, the "Salt-City" in the
middle of the beautiful Lüneburg heath with its picturesque historic
Old Town or Celle - the former residence town with an unique
concentration of half-timbered houses dating from the 16th to the
18th centuries.
