The Edge of the World, known locally as Jebel Fihrayn, is a dramatic 1,131-metre-high escarpment marking the end of the Tuwaig Mountain range approximately 100 kilometres northwest of Riyadh. The name derives from the breathtaking panorama from the cliff's edge, where the vast, flat desert stretches to the horizon. Reaching the site requires a 4x4 vehicle and careful preparation, as the final stretch involves rugged, unmarked desert tracks with no services or reliable mobile signal. The challenging access is rewarded with stark, magnificent views, fossil-strewn terrain, and exceptional stargazing, best experienced at sunset when the cliffs glow in the warm evening light.

One-hour drive along sharp curves from Chongqing lies the Jindao Canyon. Here you can enjoy the scenic view either by by walking through the narrow gorge or taking a boat through its crystal clear river. This canyon remains one of the city's hidden gems, so expect it not to be crowded.

Around 90 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Shenzhen, Dapeng Fortress stands as a time capsule from the Ming Dynasty. This 600-year-old walled military village was built to protect the region from pirates, and much of its original structure remains intact. Walking through the fortress, you’ll encounter ancient fortifications, narrow alleys, and sturdy watchtowers. In 2007, Dapeng Fortress was recognised as part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage for its cultural significance. Today, it’s a place where you can step back into history, explore the centuries-old architecture, and imagine life as it was when pirates roamed the waters just off the coast.
