China

Stretching for over 6,000 kilometers, the Great Wall of China is undoubtedly one of humankind’s most impressive architectural and engineering achievements.

China and the United States take up about the same amount of land, but China is home to nearly a billion more people.

When most people go to China, they only want to see the Great Wall and Forbidden City in Beijing, walk along the Bund at Shanghai or take in the Terracotta Warriors at Xi’an.

The most populous nation in the world, China´s vast territory encompasses diverse peoples and places; all with their own unique cultures, customs and ways of life.

Beijing is a top destination for travelers to China, but the Chinese capital is huge and teems with millions of people.

Towering mountain scenery, centuries-old monasteries, and a deeply spiritual atmosphere make this one of Asia’s most extraordinary destinations.

The coastal hub of Shanghai is a wild place to visit. China’s biggest city is as famous for its lively traditional restaurants as it is for its colonial architecture.

China is home to one of the oldest cultures on earth and its massive empire is dotted with Buddhist Temples.

The People’s Republic of China is a vast and diverse country. Because of its size, it is impossible to see it all within a single trip.

Eastern China is a world unto its own. It’s rich in history, with some towns going back 6,000 years.

Beijing is a bustling city teeming with people and sounds. The Chinese capital is a fascinating city that is quickly modernizing but keeping some aspects of its glorious past.

Somewhere on a small island, entire rows of houses are slowly vanishing under a thick coat of ivy. Rooftops just melt into the hillside.

Few places provoke such strong reactions from visitors.

China is westernizing so rapidly, even old China hands may not recognize it when they return for a visit.

China is a marvelous country to explore.
