China’s culture is rich with a history that is over 4,000 years old. They celebrate endless festivals during the year on important dates on their calendar. The sheer size of China means you will come across fascinating diversity within each province, and more diversity within that province.

China has spectacular natural wonders such as Jiuzhaigou National Park with its big turquoise pools and waterfalls at an elevation of 2,000 to 3,000 metres. Fall is a most colourful time of the year. Others are Wulingyuan, in Zhangjiajie, the limestone hills of Li River in Guangxi and Tiger Leaping Gorge.
China boasts some of the largest cities in the world and is becoming more modern everywhere you look, with its many high rises and amazing skylines. Shanghai epitomizes modern day China, with the famous riverfront skyline known as the Bund.
