Overview:
China is the cultural
treasure-house of East Asia: its social riches and 5,000 years
of tumultuous history place it among the world's greatest travel
destinations. The Great Wall, X'ian's Terracotta Army, the
Forbidden Palace and Tiananmen Square: the very names
reverberate with history and legend.
China is a land of superlatives, encompassing
the Yangtze River, the Silk Road, the bamboo forests of the
giant panda and misty peaks immortalised in traditional ink
paintings. China has 33
UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Chinese food ranks among the
world's great cuisines. From acrobatics to martial arts,
calligraphy to Chinese opera, the vibrant, distinctive culture
of this great land is everywhere to be seen.
Flexibility and patience are still required to
travel around China but, in return, China rewards visitors with
memories to treasure for a lifetime.
