Che -Guevara Posted January 2, 2013 I am fascinated by Four Great Ancient Capitals of China namely Nanjing, Luoyang, Chang'an aka Xi'an and Beijing, Their role in his Chinese history and their contributions to the world are worth exploring. I would love to visit these four gigantic cities one day. p.s. Kyoto and Busan are other cities I would like to see, just out of curiosity. I have been exploring anything Japanese and Korean....lool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted January 2, 2013 Blessed its fantastic the weather is nice the food is great but the security forces are a bit paranoid the old city is also very beautiful it holds so much civilization as for being muslim its partly a Muslim city all in all despite all the political conflict there. There is some sort of harmony there and most jews speak arabic there and the Arabs speak Hebrew to lol. I think by far its the most fascinating city in the world the city that unites the 3 abrahamic religions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ambassador Posted January 2, 2013 I think you mean the most historical city in the world. I don't think it's the most fascinating city in the world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted January 2, 2013 ^history can be fascinating to some, young man. Che, the 'Far East' is capitivating, all of it in fact. Its a shame that its so far away XX, It sounds good but Isareliska waan ka baqaa. Anyway, Al Sham is great for exploring Islamic / history of thr Abrahamic faiths, I will visit Jordan next, Inshaallah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
