Destination China

It’s hard to compare China to anywhere else in the world, and the stories of those who spend time there are as unique as the country itself.

Few places have as rich and old a cultural heritage as the People’s Republic of China.

The world’s most populous nation is also one of its fastest growing economies; recent prosperity and large scale migration are making for exciting changes and developments within twenty-first century China. The coastal cities are impressively modern while rural areas are still very much a step back in time.

Exploring the whole of China would take more than a lifetime but to experience some of the old and the new, the first world and the third, the differences between provinces that may be a thousand miles apart is feasible in a relatively short time.

Being adaptable and going there without preconceptions is the best approach to take if you want to get the most out of your time in this most extraordinary, and at times challenging, place. Always expect the unexpected!
