Why visit China?
China offers ancient cities, futuristic skylines, and vast landscapes, from imperial palaces to dramatic river valleys. You can explore centuries of history while discovering fast-changing modern neighbourhoods and creative districts.
What to expect
You will find very different atmospheres in each region, from Beijing and Shanghai to Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, and Chongqing. High-speed rail, developed city metros, and domestic flights help you link coastal hubs with inland cultural centres.
Plan your trip
China works well for both first-time visitors focusing on one or two cities and repeat travellers exploring secondary hubs. Major gateways like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu can also be springboards to neighbouring provinces and the wider East Asia region.
