Places to visit in China

Despite the country’s vast size, it’s easy to explore a variety of places on a holiday to China. Having explored many sides of it, our specialists can help you decide where to go on your trip, whether you want to see pandas in Chengdu or relax on the beaches of Hainan Island.

Many trips begin in Beijing, a microcosm of China where ancient history meets the modern world. Winding through its traditional hutongs (backstreets) reminds you of bygone dynasties, yet a visit to the Olympic Park showcases the country’s rapid change. Away from the busy streets and skyscrapers, the karst scenery and minority villages of Guangxi province are easily accessed via Guilin, while a Yangtze River cruise takes you through the jagged peaks and vertical cliffs of the Three Gorges.
