China and the Far East are steeped in mystery and this allure has drawn its visitors from afar for many years.

Asia is a real melting pot of ancient cultures and religions all inhabiting this exotic landscape and away from the bustling cities of China there is lush countryside and idyllic beaches to be enjoyed too.

China offers a myriad of adventures for the holidaymaker; a real assault on the senses and an experience you’ll never forget.

A destination incomparable to anywhere else on the planet, China’s key attractions are luring tourists from all over the globe and they’re sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who goes there.

China is huge and even the most experienced travellers could never pack everything it has to offer into a two week holiday.

Don’t even try to. Why not plan a slower placed trip, taking in the highlights but do factor in some free time to explore the cities and landscapes.
