Contrary to popular beliefs, there is far more to China than just great walls, unreal food and tech-heavy cities. While we love pandas and dim sum just as much as the next person, the real beauty of this country demands to be seen in person. Luckily for you, Flight Centre’s curated range of China tour packages are the perfect place to start.
Of course, no trip to China is complete without embarking on a journey through history with Beijing Great Wall tours. Bring your camera as you walk along the ancient fortifications and soak in panoramic views of Chinese landscapes. From here, you can choose to experience modern skyscrapers and vibrant cultural scenes with the likes of the Shanghai city break, or head into the country for a range of historical and natural wonders.
History buffs can’t miss the chance to see the life-sized Xi’an Terracotta warriors, horses, and chariots that guard the tomb of China's first emperor. You can also visit sacred monasteries and witness traditional Tibetan rituals in the Roof of the World with Tibet Lhasa Adventures.
China is blessed with natural beauty in spades, with everything from the snowy peaks of the Himalayas to the tropical rainforests of Xishuangbanna. A Yunnan Province exploration is great for uncovering a rich tapestry of culture in nature, while the Zhangjiajie National Forest is a must for anyone keen to explore the surreal landscapes that inspired the movie ‘Avatar’.
See life from the water cruising through breathtaking scenery with Guilin Li River cruises, or sail through history through the dramatic Three Gorges aboard Yangtze River cruises. Of course, no trip to China is complete without the chance to encounter a panda or two. The Chengdu Panda Base is our pick of spots to learn about conservation efforts and observe these clumsy creatures in their natural habitat.
Finally, if you’re heading to China, why not stop in for a Hong Kong city tour along the way? This palette cleanser is the perfect way to experience the unique fusion of East and West, exploring bustling markets and snapping pictures from Victoria Peak while you’re there.
