China is a magical clash between ancient culture and 21st Century Asian metropolises. Given this vast country’s rich history and unique customs it’s not surprising that China holidays have become a favourite on the long-haul holiday scene.
Ancient Chinese empires rose and fell over 3,000 years of history, but the legacy of imperial China lives on. Must-see historical favourites on a holiday to China include the Great Wall of China, one of the modern wonders of the world and a UNESCO heritage site; the Terracotta Warriors of the Qin Dynasty and of course The Imperial Palace in Beijing – the magnificent monument to Chinese Imperial life.
Modern, urban China is a marvel too. China has invented its own very unique industrial revolution which has given rise to the transformation of its cities. No holiday to China would be complete without experiencing the bustling cities of Beijing and Shanghai where commerce, culture and tradition combine to create an unforgettable taste of changing China.
