2. If you’ve been interested in a tour of China
but are having a difficult time deciding which
of the many, mind-boggling destinations to
explore, then it might help getting advice
from guides who have lived and travelled
around this marvellous country for a long
time. These destinations are some of The
China Travel Company’s guides’ favourites,
and once you have visited them you will see
why.
3. Beijing is the capital of the People’s Republic of
China and houses a mixture of rich sightseeing and
a cultural experience unmatched by most
destinations. The legendary Great Wall is a must
see in this destination. For the best parts of this
tour try see the wall from Mutianyu of Jinshanling
for the quieter, less
beaten path.
4. The desert town of Dunhuang is popular amongst
tourists and is a UNESCO world heritage site thanks
to the Mogao Caves which house over 1000 years’
worth of priceless Buddhist art.

6. Dali is an area that is most famous for its marble
and offers tourists some of China’s most amazing
scenery since it is located between mountains and
the Erhai Lake. The town is very old, very small,
and impressive to look at, having been founded
nearly 1200 years ago.

7. The Everest Base Camp offers the world’s best
view, that of the Northern Tibet side of the
mountain. Expect a several day hike from Lhasa to
get there, which offers amazing scenery and
excellent adventure. Harsh conditions make for a
memorable trip, but it is definitely not for the faint
of heart.

8. Emeishan is another
UNESCO world heritage
site and one of the four
sacred Buddhist
Mountains in China. At
roughly 3km high, this
mountain is crisp all year
round, laden with snow
and peppered with
temples that can only be
gotten to with a bit of
hard work.
