Planning a trip to China?
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
China is one of the most diverse and interesting destinations in the world. With one-of-a-kind historical landmarks, jaw dropping scenery epic enough to inspire the movie Avatar and some of the liveliest cities you can find, China is sure to leave you with a lifetime of memories and a camera roll full of happy snaps.
China ranks second in the world for its number of World Heritage Sites (it has 48 of them) and no trip here is complete without visiting one of the newest 7 wonders of the world - the Great Wall of China in Beijing. It’s a site that represents a huge part of Chinese history, and one that’s been preserved well enough to attract roughly 10 million travellers per year.
Whether you’re planning to visit the giant pandas of the Wolong Nature Reserve, travel back in time to see the famous Terracotta Army in Xi’An, live out your childhood dreams at Disney World Hong Kong or trek through sacred mountain paths – China has something for everyone.
Our top recommendations for an unforgettable trip include spending a night at the Great Wall of China, hiking through Avatar land aka Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, learning about ancient Chinese history in the Forbidden City and beach hopping in Hong Kong.
As one of the oldest continuous civilisations, Chinese culture can be found on every corner. Join a cooking class for an immersive cultural experience or chow down on delicious locally made Dim Sum. Be sure to also include a visit to some of the minority populations of regional China for a truly eye-opening experience.
