China Trips

why travel solo to china?

One of the world’s oldest civilizations, yet also the fastest developing; China is a place of intense contrasts - making it an excellent choice for your next adventure.

Your trip to China will be a tale of two halves, thanks to the wildly different experiences you’ll have between city and countryside. Noisy, ultra-modern yet historic, and each with their own individual charms (and incredible cuisine); Shanghai and Beijing represent the China you’re probably expecting – and then some. In these cities, you’ll visit impressive temples, the iconic Tiananmen Square, vast shopping districts, picturesque gardens, and experience Shanghai’s traditional Hu cuisine.

Then there’s the countryside. A mystical, quieter world where Giant Buddhas, mountains, pandas, the Great Wall, charming markets and traditional architecture will keep you endlessly occupied.

If you’re looking for diversity and culture, travel in China is up there with the best.

Top places to visit in China

Beijing

China’s sprawling capital is where ancient history and industrious modernity collide, resulting in a city which is constantly redefining not only itself, but the nation and its place in the world. Travel to Beijing, and you’ll discover a multilayered city brimming with cultural richness.

Xi’an

One of China’s most storied cities, Xi’an was the endpoint of the Silk Road – a fact to which Xi’an owes its impressive heritage. It’s home to the Terracotta Army, as well as ancient mosques, a labyrinthine Muslim Quarter and Ming-era city walls.

Chengdu

While Chengdu has less to offer in terms of historical sites and heritage than other Chinese cities, it more than makes up for it in its famous regional cuisine – a fantastic place to master the basics of Sichuan cuisine.

Shanghai

Glamorous Shanghai is the beating heart of Chinese culture, from its Michelin-starred restaurant scene to its vibrant music and art venues. This is the sort of place to put the map down, and let the rhythm of the city carry you from one place to another.
