A timeless tapestry of history, culture, and innovation
China, a timeless tapestry of history, culture, and innovation, stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit. This awe-inspiring land is where ancient wisdom meets modern dynamism, offering an intoxicating mix of scenic beauty, cultural richness, and pulsating energy. Marvel at the majestic Great Wall as it snakes across rugged landscapes, a symbol of China’s resilience and ingenuity. Stand in the vast expanse of Tiananmen Square, the heartbeat of Beijing, and feel the pulse of this vibrant nation. Immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty of the Li River, its jade-green waters reflecting the surreal karst mountains. Explore the dazzling skyline of Shanghai, a city that has its gaze firmly set on the future, yet retains a deep connection with its past. Delve into the mystique of the Forbidden City, where tales of emperors and dynasties whisper in the silent courtyards. China isn’t just a destination, it’s a journey through a 5,000-year-old civilisation that continues to shape the world.
Weather & Climate
China’s extreme size means it has a great diversity of climates but being located entirely in the northern hemisphere means its seasonal timings are broadly comparable to those in Europe.
When to go
Early autumn around September and October are wonderful times to visit when temperatures are pleasant and rainfall is low. Spring is also popular, for similar reasons, and March or April are a good option.
