  • China - Beijing and the North

    A mystical country in the western imagination eversince the explorations of Marco Polo, China is a vast country of traditions so different to our own, that it is essential for the traveller to take his/her time over exploring this fascinating mix of technology and communist dictatorship. Beijing, also known as Peking, is an astonishing capital that seems never to stop developing and at frantic speed. As well as the main places to visit in the city, the mysterious Forbidden City, where the kings of China lived prior to the last dynasty, the Qing dynasty, being overthrown. The famous Tiananmen Square is a must, you have to go on an expedition over the Great Wall, which is close to Beijing. Nearby, a visit to the 7,000 terracotta soldiers and horses of Xi'an will provide a finishing touch to an unforgettable trip.

China : Travel Information before you go!

Discover the Destination

Since Marco Polo's voyages of discoveries, China has always been perceived in the West, as a mystical land of contrasts which has never ceased to fascinate even the most blasé of travellers. China is part of a continent where a culture shock (or two) is unavoidable and is home to uncountable mysteries which are to be uncovered in several installments. In Beijing,the capital, one cannot help but stare up in amazement at the mysterious Forbidden City as well as the famous square, Tian An Men. Never far away, the Great Wall of China calls for a mandatory visit! There are also 7,000 clay soldiers and horses from Xi'an which make for an impressive sight. From the megalopolis of Shanghai, to the ethnic minorities of Yunnan, south China has proved to be nothing short of multifaceted. North China is a significant part of the world-famous 'Silk Road' trade route. Along this route there are hundreds of sites not to miss; temples, ruins of ancient cities and oases strewn all over the desert and mountains. The traveller could also choose to head higher up into the Himalayas to Tibet, the world's highest city, to explore its monasteries: the 'roof of the world' is ideal for thrill seeking hikers with its arid mindscape and snow-capped mountain tops.
