China is a country like no other - the scale, the grandeur, the history, the mystery, the people and their ever-increasing importance in world affairs - all offer the most wonderful and challenging experience. Scratch the surface of the mighty Middle Kingdom and you'll begin a journey into a civilization that will stimulate and captivate forever more. Chinese civilization, dating back more than 5000 years, has influenced Asian culture more than any other. From the great contrasting cities of Beijing and Shanghai, to the ancient history of the Terracotta Warriors in Xian, spectacular rice terraces at Long-Sheng, the wonderful water town of Wuzhen, to cruising on the Yangtze River - China is fantastically varied. Perhaps the greatest challenge to the visitor is making sense of this vast country and appreciating its beauty and scale within the confines of your vacation. Jetabout Asia Vacations can help.
