Kathmandu, Nepal

Nepal’s capital is surrounded by a valley filled with practically an endless number of historic attractions  – in fact, there are seven UNESCO world heritage sites here, including the Buddhist stupas of Swayambhu and Bauddhanath, the Durbar Squares of Hanuman Dhoka, Patan and Bhaktapur, as well as the Hindu temples of Pashupati and Changu Narayan. Visitors can enjoy mingling with locals and animals among the monuments of Durbar Square or join mountain trekkers in the Thamel District and shop for cashmere, pashmina and wool scarfs, carpets and paper prints, created by local artisans. Don’t miss sampling the mouth-watering Nepalese dumplings while you’re here.

Shanghai, China

Shanghai is China’s largest city as well as its most cosmopolitan, providing the chance to experience the past, present and future all at the same time. It’s also the nation’s most prosperous city and one of its greatest economic and cultural centers. The Huangpu River splits it into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like a scene from “The Jetsons,” with its bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower. On the Puxi side, stroll the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai. As a sleepless city, you’ll find plenty to do after dark, including everything from night clubs and bars that are open until dawn, cinemas showing both Chinese and foreign films as well as theaters featuring dance, drama, opera, acrobatics and puppets.
