Few countries I've been to have such a variety of landscapes and cultures as China, an exotic land that has inspired travellers for centuries.
Chris Moore, North & Central Asia Specialist, 01993 838213
Over the course of its 5,000 year history China has developed one of the world’s richest and most sophisticated cultures, creating fabulous monuments to great Emperors, breathtaking manifestations of religious devotion and arts and crafts of all descriptions that remain to this day the pinnacle of man’s creative achievements.
As empires have waxed and waned China’s borders have expanded and contracted, but constant throughout have been the traditional Chinese heartlands - the great capitals of Beijing, Xian and Nanjing; the sacred mountains and scenic splendour of Huangshan, the Yangtze gorges and Guilin, and the modern marvels of Shanghai and Hong Kong.
