As the winter Olympics finish and images of the closing ceremony at Beijing remind us what an incredible extravaganza China put on for the world, now is the time to remind ourselves about the incredible attractions this country has to offer the traveller.
From the ancient sites of Beijing, the mammoth scale of the Great Wall, the mesmerising limestone landscapes of Guilin and Yangshuo, the dramatic scenery of Tiger Leaping Gorge, relaxation on a Yangtze River cruise, the Giant Pandas of Chengdu, the modern face of Shanghai, the minority people of Dali and Kunming and the sheer history of the Silk Road to Kashgar, China is a country with an abundance of appeal.
Offering year round allure, check out our top tours to this fascinating country.
