Why Visit China?

A country of contrasts and contradictions, China is as sprawling in size as it is in diversity. Here you'll find futuristic cityscapes studded with skyscrapers, layer upon layer of temple-adorned mountains and a coastline that seems to stretch on forever - not to mention the world-famous Great Wall that's so expansive it can be seen from space. This intricate blend of antiquity and modernity makes China one of the most fascinating places to visit right now.
