China is the world's most populous country and one of its oldest civilisations, spanning a vast and geographically diverse landscape that ranges from the Himalayan peaks and Gobi Desert to subtropical coastlines and fertile river valleys. It is renowned for iconic landmarks including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, and the karst scenery of Guilin. Travellers are drawn by its extraordinary depth of history and culture, a dynamic food scene that varies dramatically by region, and modern megacities like Shanghai sitting alongside ancient towns and rural landscapes. With an extensive high-speed rail network, China is increasingly accessible for independent exploration across its diverse provinces.
