Travel China: A Historical Insight Into Chinese Civilisation

Chinese civilisation dates back over 5,000 years and has influenced Asian cultures more than any other.

Beijing combines history and modernity like few cities in the world today and is a great jumping-off point from which to view one of the nation’s treasures, the Great Wall of China.

Shanghai is firmly focused on the future and is home to towering skyscrapers, high-end shopping and a fascinating fusion of 21st century and traditional Chinese culture.

Guilin is the China of an artist’s dreams, where the Li River carves its way through stunning limestone karst mountains as villagers farm rice in the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Another impressive river, the mighty Yangtze, is a sight to behold as it thunders through the awesome Three Gorges. The cuisine is as varied as the landscapes; make sure to indulge in Xian’s distinctive and delicious dumplings, dry red wine from the oasis town of Turpan, and, of course, the world-renowned taste sensation of Peking Duck as one can only sample in Beijing itself.

NZ traveller’s interested in more adventurous journeys and stunning natural beauty will be at home in Sichuan and Tibet; sacred mountains, monks, monasteries and some of the world’s most beautiful scenery abound. And those interested in retail therapy need look no further than Hong Kong – a true paradise for shoppers.
