China

China is undoubtedly one of the world’s most diverse countries, where you’ll easily be spoilt for choice, simply due to its vastness. With that immensity comes a host of natural beauty, from bamboo-forested mountains, rivers and plains that have inspired Chinese paintings, to tropical islands and beaches that offer sunkissed escapes.

With a colourful and somewhat tumultuous history that spans centuries and dynasties, China also has a mix of attractions that includes must-see iconic landmarks and architectural wonders, as well as a fascinatingly diverse cuisine. China’s big cities each have their own character. Beijing and Shanghai, for instance, each offer stark contrasts, with pagodas and remnants of millennia past in the shadows of modern skyscrapers.
