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.

- Central-Mid-Levels Escalator
The Central-Mid-Levels Escalator offers a unique taste of what it's like to live in Hong Kong's most exclusive areas. The world's longest covered outdoor escalator is an incredible 800 metres long and moves about 36,000 people a day. - Lan Kwai Fong
Lan Kwai Fong is one of Hong Kong's hippest areas, home to an abundance of bars and restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets. Here's where you'll find some of the best quality food and get to hang out in the most fashionable places. The best time to visit is Friday or Saturday night, when crowds spill out onto the street and create a good-natured party atmosphere. - Tiantan - The Temple of Heaven
China's largest temple, the Temple of Heaven is an amazing complex of interconnected buildings enclosed by a gargantuan circular wall and a 273-hectare park in the Chongwen District, south of the Forbidden City and Tian'anmen Square. - Panjiayuan Market
Once only held at weekends, the open-air Panjiayuan Market is now China's largest bric-a-brac market and a must for every visitor to the capital. - Lama Temple
Beijing's Lama Temple is a vibrant riot of colour. Its Chinese name, Yonghegong, means "Palace of Harmony." The prayer halls and gardens are hung with amazing mandalas, which symbolise spiritual or meditative worlds to Buddhists.
