Explore China

China holds several countries inside one border. Beijing and the Great Wall, the terracotta ranks at Xi'an, the water towns near Suzhou, the karst rivers of Guangxi and the bamboo forests of Sichuan where the pandas live, all linked by one of the fastest railway networks in the world.

It rewards a good route more than almost anywhere. The right order of cities, the right high speed train, a guide who can open a hutong door, and time built in for tea houses and markets rather than only monuments.

Our China Travel Centre is opening shortly. Itineraries and hotels are being finalised with our team on the ground, and we are already taking enquiries for next season.
