China is known around the globe for it’s  
ancient civilization, friendly people, and
many of the world’s most highly regarded
Treasures.

The Great Wall, the Terra-Cotta Warriors
& Horses, and the mighty Yangtze River,
draw tourists from every corner of the
earth... and all go home amazed that the
reality exceeds their expectations.

Modern China also boasts spectacular
Architecture, & towering skylines of cities
such as Shanghai and Beijing (site of the
2008 Summer Olympics, of course), plus a
wealth of excellent traditional cuisine and
luxury accommodation.

As you’d expect for such a huge country,
the landscape varies dramatically. From the
edge of Everest in the Himalayas, to the
Turpan Basin - 154 metres below sea level;
from the Great Wall of China, to the Pacific
Ocean, China has something that will take
your breath away - no matter what your
tastes are.

The people, too, are welcoming and warm,
making it a most memorable place to visit.
