China
China is a world unto itself. From its great outdoors to its grand cities, the rich layers of history and cultural diversity in this enormous country make for an extraordinary experience. Cycle through Guilin’s limestone ‘skyscraper’ scenery or trek remote sections of the Great Wall; wander through the ancient rice terraces of Longji or be overwhelmed by the grand archaeological treasure of Xian’s Terracotta Warriors. The scale of China’s grand sights are overwhelming, from the Silk Road to Shanghai, so be sure to also enjoy its age-old traditions, whether you’re participating or observing: perhaps tai chi in a bird garden, exploring the mighty metropolis of Hong Kong, or a game of mahjong at afternoon tea. And of course the dishes of arguably the world’s greatest cuisine – could 20% of the world’s population be wrong? China is the heart of one of the world’s great cultures; you’ll find ‘The Middle Kingdom’ the true place for East to meet West.

Yunnan Encounter
Eda - Turkey, 8 Apr, 2012
The trip was absolutely fantastic! It was so much better organized then expected. I had the best time honestly. The local guides we had in various cities though could have been better. They meant very well and they were so nice, but I wish they spoke English better so we could learn more from them about the region.
