Cultural treasure-house of East Asia
Chinas cultural riches and 5000 years of tumultuous history place it, without doubt, among the worlds greatest travel destinations. The Great Wall, Xians Terracotta Army, the Forbidden Palace and Tiananmen Square: the very names reverberate with history and legend.
Chinas paradoxes are many: Shanghais skyscrapers contrast with Beijings historical treasures, while in rural provinces, mechanisation has not yet reached many traditional farming villages. Celebrated places and sights abound this is the land of the Yangxi River, the Silk Route and the bamboo forests of the panda. Spectacular Guilin brings the vistas of rivers and misty peaks in traditional ink paintings to life, while far to the west, the fabled Tibetan city of Lhasa beckons pilgrims to the roof of the world.
Chinese food from noodles to Imperial banquets ranks among the worlds great cuisines. From acrobatics to martial arts, calligraphy to Chinese opera, the vibrant, distinctive culture of this great land is everywhere to be seen.
Now reunited with the mainland, visually stunning Hong Kong offers a warp-speed shop till you drop lifestyle combined with enclaves of tradition and tranquil outlying islands. Nearby, exotic Macau is a gamblers paradise with colonial Portuguese flair.
Beijing, as the site of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, is facing enormous investment, which will see its historic areas refurbished and protected, and transport and accommodation improved.
Chinas tourism infrastructure is rapidly improving, but flexibility and patience are still required. In return, China rewards visitors with memories to be treasured for a lifetime.

- Forbidden City (Palace Museum)
So called because the Ming and Qing dynasty emperors kept this pleasure dome off limits for 500 years, the Forbidden City or Imperial Palace is a massive network of restored buildings containing a stately 9999.5 rooms (the half-a-room contains a stairway, and the room count couldn't go any higher, as 10,000 rooms would make it like heaven). Now Beijing's Palace Museum, it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. - Great Wall of China
The largest man-made construction ever built, the ancient majesty of the Great Wall of China can be spotted by anyone who happens to be journeying through space, although not, as is commonly believed, from the moon (Armstrong did try). - Shanghai Museum
Located on People's Square, the Shanghai Museum is one of the city's main highlights, housing over 120,000 historical artefacts and covering a period spanning from prehistory to the last imperial dynasty. - Yiheyuan - The Summer Palace
Located 15km from Beijing, the Summer Palace is the largest imperial garden in China. Considered a paragon of Chinese architecture, the buildings blend harmoniously with the natural scenery along the shores of Kunming Lake. - Yu Yuan Garden
Once a private Ming dynasty garden, Yu Yuan (or Jade Garden) is typical of the careful elegance and optical brilliance favoured by the Chinese for classical gardens. The land is divided into six scenic areas - the Grand Rockery, the Ten Thousand-Flower Pavilion, the Hall of Heralding Spring, the Hall of Jade Magnificence, the Inner Garden, and the Lotus Pool.
