LAND OF THE RED DRAGON
A melting pot of past and present, the nation’s capital Beijing is home to some of the country’s most iconic sights including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and an enchanting maze of ‘hutongs’ (tree-lined alleyways). It is also the gateway for exploring one of the Wonders of the World – the Great Wall of China. One of the world’s most spectacular sights, you can visit the tourist-heavy section of Badaling or get away from the crowds and head to the Mutianyu section.
Once an exuberant city at the heart of the Chinese Empire, Xi’an has developed into a large modern city and is home to the magnificent Terracotta Warriors – a fascinating army of over 7,000 life-size soldiers created by hand and is one of the world’s greatest archaeological finds.
If stunning landscapes and verdant countryside is more of your thing, take a magical cruise along the Li River; a 50 mile stretch between Guilin and the vibrant resort town of Yangshuo, your relaxing journey is lined with striking limestone peaks, caves and cliffs that rise up from the water’s edge.
A gleaming metropolis of towering skyscrapers, a vibrant nightlife and vast shopping malls, Shanghai is China’s most developed city and considered the birthplace of modern China. Despite its modernity, it has its fair share of historic attractions, most noticeably in The Bund – a famous waterfront promenade where travellers can feel the charm of old Shanghai with a mix of beautiful art deco buildings. Come here at night for breathtaking views of the luminous skyline dominated by the Oriental Pearl Tower.
One of our Top 10 Animal Encounters – visiting the Giant Pandas of Chengdu is a must. The Giant Panda Breeding and Research Centre offers a great opportunity to observe and learn about the base’s efforts to breed these highly endangered animals. A trip to modern Chengdu would not be complete without trying some of the famously spicy Sichuan cuisine.
