Impactful and colossal, modern and rustic, traditional and innovative; China is all of these things at once, it is a country with a fierce nature that is incomparable to any other country in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Home to over one billion people, approximately a fifth of the world\u2019s population, China is exhausting and energising, presenting contrasts everywhere you look. With ten megacities like Shanghai and Beijing with populations of over ten million people and the independent region of Hong Kong, it\u2019s difficult to believe that beyond these metropolises lie thousands of miles of remote, picturesque countryside complete with traditional villages, lush terraced rice paddies and staggering mountain scenery. Rural life in China is something few travellers venture into, but it is certainly worth the journey.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A country so vast and densely-populated, one can expect that the result is a diverse country home to several microcultures, different languages and customs. That much is true of the far south with its ethnic minorities and hill tribes. China\u2019s big cities have long drawn in expats from all over the world. However, it\u2019s the diversity of China that has resulted in one of the highlights of most people\u2019s trips – the food! With over one billion mouths to feed, combined with the vast geographical variations, you can expect your palette to be both tested, and tantalised. In a country where the people ask \u2018have you eaten?\u2019, not \u2018how are you?\u2019 as a gauge of your general wellbeing, it\u2019s no surprise that food will be at the centre point of your trip.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

China\u2019s 5000-year-old civilisation, the world\u2019s oldest continuous civilisation, has expectedly resulted in some breathtaking antiquities. With many having been destroyed to pave the way for modern skyscrapers and other developments, don\u2019t expect to be tripping up over ancient artefacts. But what you will find is very special. From the intriguing crumbling sections of the Great Wall of China, the Terracotta Army and the Forbidden City to the temple-topped mountains, UNESCO-listed gorges and villages lost in time; China\u2019s rich history awaits.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Every single trip to China will be a different experience. Whilst it may be the bucket-list ticking landmarks and the dazzling metropolises you initially visit for, your lasting memory of this country will likely be its sheer scale and awe-inspiring diversity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With a significant language barrier, the non-stop pace of life and the vast size this country takes up, planning a trip to China as a first-time traveller can be exhausting. Backed by specially-crafted customisable itineraries designed by Local Designers in China, this China travel guide aims to leave you an excellent grasp on what this country offers and everything you need to know.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
