China, one of the world's oldest civilisations, is a fascinating destination for travellers. Over the past 25 years China has been rapidly modernising and has begun welcoming the outside world after decades of choosing to keep itself hidden from most of the western world. Once suspicious of foreigners, China today is charming and hospitable, and has truly flung its doors open to visitors. Indeed, China's pace of development is so quick that it is catching up to the West.
The third-largest country in the world in land area and the largest in population, China has a fascinating past. Today there is limitless opportunity to explore. Experience the land that was once enchanted with emperors and developed a culture that produced a way of life much different from the rest of the world. The land of the panda offers cultural relics and scenic landscapes, populated by a race of people who revere and respect age and wisdom and who have evolved their own style that is so uniquely 'Chinese'.
China is bursting with mysteries and wonders. Great cities abound, with Shanghai offering a cosmopolitan 'World City' aura, Beijing a sleek modernism along with expression of architectural grandeur, befitting its capital status. Guangzhou, the mystical 'Canton' of Asia, showcases productivity and manufacturing might. Visitors can marvel at the Great Wall, be awed by the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, stroll around the Forbidden City, delight in dining lakeside in gorgeous Hangzhou and sampling delicacies such as bird's nest soup or 100-year-old eggs.
Accommodation in China, as one would expect from such a transformational country, is available in every kind. Beach and snow areas offer world-class resorts, cities offer tall, gleaming luxury hotels, and tourist destinations offer a staggering multitude of choice for all of China's visitors.

A part of the world that has been civilised for nearly 5,000 years, and in fact has considered itself the centre of the world, China has had a major impact internationally on art, culture and science. It remains a land filled with mystery and a storehouse of archaeological and cultural treasures. China’s geography is vast, as are its climate extremes. The country’s topography is rich in scenic landscapes, ranging from the peaks of the Himalayas to dramatic river gorges and vast desert regions.
China is a great place for children to visit, as the country is heavily focused on its children, and on providing all sorts of things for their amusement and pleasure. In addition, there are numerous activities that can be enjoyed by the entire family, from having fun at the beach, to going on biking excursions, flying kites and even going horseback riding together.
Harbin Ice and Snow Festival: In the country’s far northeast, the freezing winter weather provides the ice for the ice-carving competition that brings people from all over the world to see the unique and often exquisite sculptures – and to enjoy the festive atmosphere in Harbin, in spite of the freezing cold weather. A special feature of the ice sculptures is that they are illuminated from the interior.
The range of sightseeing possibilities in China is enormous and includes some of the world’s true wonders. Highlights include the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors in Xian. Most every region of the country offers up archaeological and cultural attractions that are worth seeing. Incredible natural sights like the areas in and around China’s spectacular rivers are also worth taking time to see.

China’s vast size means that travel by air is the only truly feasible option for visitors with limited time to reach destinations that are thousands of miles apart. Airports range from the small and simple facilities handling a limited number of flights, to the huge international airports of cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. That being said, travel by railroad affords views of stunning scenery and ways of life away from the big cities.
