    • The impressive Great Wall, tasty food and ancient temples all spring to mind when you think of China, but that’s just scratching the surface. It is a country of opposites, large-scale development and culture embedded with tradition, busy fast-paced cities and quiet laid back countryside. It’s like no other country on earth and each area of this vast country offers something a little different.

    Trekking adventures

    Whether you want to challenge yourself with a trek along Tiger Leaping Gorge, staying in simple accommodation along the way, or take a more easy-going hike through the rice paddies, China offers something for all levels of adventurer.

    Honeymoons with a twist

    It isn’t the most obvious choice for a honeymoon destination but that’s what makes it so unique! Float down the Yulong River on a bamboo raft, whip up some traditional food in Dali or relax on a tropical sandy beach – China has it all and so much more to make your trip extra special.

    Combine China with Tibet or Nepal

    Add a Himalayan twist to your trip by combining the highlights of China with Tibet and/or Nepal, escaping into a peaceful, snow-tipped world of chanting monks and fluttering prayer flags. You can walk the legendary Great Wall, wander between the dangling red lanterns of enchanting Lijiang before heading into Tibet with its crisp mountain air, mighty Everest and spiritual atmosphere. Finish your trip with a stay at a secluded tented resort just over the border into Nepal.
