\"Lijiang\"<\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t like top tens? They reel me in all the time, but they have their limitations. We all know China could fill up top ten lists in its sleep, so the one compiled over at National Geographic Traveler<\/a> really doesn\u2019t do the place justice.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m always up for some China info. So, I turn to you, TheExpeditioner readers, to throw some spice at this list and \u201cstep it up a notch\u201d — Emeril style.

I’ll offer up the Ruinas de Sao Paulo Cathedral<\/a> and surrounding neighborhood in Macau for a distinctly Portuguese getaway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
