Xishuangbanna, China

Xishuangbanna was the only place in China to make the New York Times annual list of places to visit in the coming year. This year the Times picked 52 places to visit in 2014. Xishuangbanna was No. 32 on the list.

Xishuangbanna, located in southern Yunnan Province, was picked because of its rich biodiversity and wild elephants. The newspaper referred to the region as "China's wild frontier."
