VISIT CHINA

Visiting China offers a unique blend of ancient history and modern marvels. Start in Beijing, where you can explore the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.

In Shanghai, marvel at the skyline from The Bund and stroll through the peaceful Yu Garden. Xi’an is home to the famous Terracotta Army and the well-preserved Ancient City Wall. Enjoy the stunning landscapes in Guilin and Yangshuo with a Li River cruise. Chengdu offers the chance to see giant pandas at a breeding centre. Remember to obtain a visa before your trip.

Basic Mandarin phrases and a translation app can be very helpful. The Chinese Yuan (CNY) is the currency, and credit cards are widely accepted in cities. China’s high-speed trains and domestic flights make travel convenient. Respect local customs, such as dressing modestly in temples. Carry bottled water, as tap water is not safe to drink. China is generally safe, but it’s wise to stay aware of your surroundings.
