Comprised of ancient landmarks, a blend of regional cultures, and some of Asia’s finest natural vistas, China, the breath-taking ‘Middle Kingdom’, is a destination that simply never gets old. If you're looking for a holiday full of history, tradition and magnificent nature - a tour of China is just for you.
From the neon-lit landmarks of the East Coast to the historic wonders of the western provinces, it’s China’s cosmopolitan city centres that will first capture your attention. Beijing is sure to impress with its ancient palace compounds, while coastal Shanghai’s iconic hyper-modern skyline makes it another must-see. Whether you’re after world-famous landmarks, from the Great Wall to the Forbidden City, or a snapshot of life in modern China, the eastern region is perfect for ticking a few sights off your travel wish-list.
To the west, Xi’an, the easternmost point on the fabled Silk Road, promises rewarding sightseeing with its rich collection of religious heritage sites and the world-famous Terracotta Army. Further south, Chengdu showcases a different side to China, and time spent immersed in the city’s popular public areas is often just as memorable as excursions to its exquisite cultural attractions. Mountainous Chongqing features a host of unique highlights amongst its bustling retail areas.
It won’t just be China’s inner-city hotspots that make a lasting impression, and nature enthusiasts can enjoy slower-paced sightseeing amongst the rivers, forest, and mountains of the central region. Towering Mount Shuanggui, home to a secluded enclave of centuries-old temples, boasts some of the nation’s finest alpine landscapes, while the mighty Yangtze River is the gateway to the remarkable Three Gorges. Elsewhere, China’s gentle giants, the native panda bears, can be found in Chengdu’s Panda Research Centre, one of Asia’s finest conservation parks.
