China Tours… Just as Varied as the Country Itself
China tours have become highly popular since the People’s Republic opened its doors to mass tourism. There are so many options now that it’s easy to get confused. Let’s describe what you can expect, depending on where you go.
The Chinese capital Beijing, the ancient city of Xian and cosmopolitan Shanghai are included in most China tours – unless you opt not to go for the major cities. Guilin and Hong Kong are also popular among tourists.
The North China plain, with Beijing and the Yellow River, has always been one of the most important regions for Chinese civilization, and it’s almost inevitable you will go there. It’s also possible to book a tour that also takes you further down the countryside, for a example for a river cruise on the mighty Yangtze.
Being a country with a great variety of landscapes it’s also worthwhile to go and see beautiful mountains like the majestic Yellow Mountain, China’s most celebrated mountain with three peaks above 1,800 meters. You’ll find the Yellow Mountain in the southern part of Anhui Province. If you think of mountains, you’ll quickly think of Tibet. It has never been so easy to visit this remote land in the south west of China since a new railway to Lhasa was opened. Yes, you can now travel to the roof of the world in a comfortable train carriage!
Train travel is popular in China and a great way to discover the country’s cities and nature. Trains also offer excellent opportunities to get acquainted with the Chinese people.
Neighboring Tibet is the mountainous borderland of Yunnan, known as China’s kingdom of flora and fauna. This is another fascinating part of the country and recommended to all lovers of exceptional natural sceneries. Several China tours include Yunnan’s capital Kunming, because of its pleasant weather also known as the city of eternal spring.
If it’s your first time visiting China I recommend booking a tour that includes the major cities and the Great Wall. For future trips some of the numerous other China tours will definitely satisfy you too.
