From futuristic, pumping Shanghai, to peaceful villages where life hasn't changed much in 100 years, yin and yang are everywhere, coming together to form the entire phenomenon that is China. Home to a whopping 33 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, China exudes greatness, in particular a knack for producing remarkable feats of human engineering, evident in the 4,000+ mile long Great Wall of China and the uniquely formed 8,000-strong Terracotta Army, one of the oldest examples of a mass-scale production line.
Ancient attractions are a reason alone to choose an escorted tour to China, and a visit to Beijing's Forbidden City should come high on the list. Whether you want to be thrust ahead in time a few years with a visit to ultramodern Shanghai, take in China's scenic canals, calm lakes and sacred mountains, admire the famous skyline of Hong Kong, or explore Beijing's imperial treasures, touring holidays to China won't disappoint.
