    A magical country full of historical highlights and stunning scenery

    A vast and ancient country, China is endlessly fascinating

    China is vast, both in terms of its size and its offerings. Its history goes back thousands of years, yet it is one of the world’s most rapidly growing countries.

    This is a place where you’ll find ancient royal residences sat next to glitzy modern skyscrapers and where suited businessmen and women stride past stalls selling traditional steamed dumplings, the recipes for which have not changed in aeons.

    In some parts of the country, life goes on in much the same way it has for centuries, while others cities are being built from the ground up to accommodate the explosive population growth. It is this contrast that makes China such a wonderful place to explore.

    Weather wise, the best times to visit China are the shoulder seasons: February to April and then September to October. China has three Golden Week holidays: the May Day holiday, the National Day holiday, and the Spring Festival holiday and these are peak times for domestic tourism. The exact dates of these change every year, so it’s worth checking with your travel designer.

    Highlights

    Discover the capital, Beijing, an endlessly fascinating city with a wealth of historic sights

    Experience the thrill of Shanghai, with its bright lights and epic skyline

    Discover the smaller, but no less fascinating cities of Chengdu, where you can meet its resident pandas

    Visit Xi’an, the home of the Terracotta Warriors

    Feel dwarfed by the towering karst peaks in Yangshuo

    Explore the Great Wall of China, stretching for more than 20,000km

    China is a totally unique destination, unlike anywhere else in Asia I have ever visited. It’s home to one of the world’s most ancient civilisations and is full of fascinating stories. You could return again and again and have an entirely different experience every time.
