The vast scale of the country offers a huge number of stunning choices to visit whether it is for cultural, educational and historical trips or simply stunning sights and experiences.

From the far north where Harbin hosts an incredible annual ice festival every winter to the south where the modern metropolis of Shenzhen sits adjacent to the stunning city and skyline that is Hong Kong, from the western deserts and beautiful landscapes to the north of Xinjiang to the eastern seaboard where the major cities and modern developments stand, China overwhelms the senses and leaves you spoilt for choice for what to see and do.

Where to start? Capital Beijing is vast in scale, and you need to be right in the centre to experience the amazing Forbidden City and imposing Tiananmen Square. Shanghai, halfway down the east coast has a night skyline on the famous Bund that is without parallel anywhere in the world, and a city full of culture, activities, sports and entertainment that would keep you busy for weeks.

There are many regions and villages well worth visiting all over the country, depending on your requirements, so careful planning is vital to maximise your trip!
