China isn't a country - it's a different world. Unless you
have a couple of years and unlimited patience, it's best to
follow a loose itinerary here, such as following the Silk
Road route, sailing down the Yangzi River, or exploring the
Dr Seuss landscape of Guangxi Province.
From shop-till-you-drop metropolises to the epic grasslands
of Inner Mongolia, China is a land of cultural and geographic
schisms. It's not that it has completely done away with its
Maoist past - it's more that the yin of revolutionary zeal
is being balanced by the yang of economic pragmatism.
China is a country of great contrasts, with picturesque rural
landscapes and congested cityscapes, and natural beauty that
ranges from the untamed to the idyllic - from the windswept
plains of the Gobi Desert and Mt Everest's notorious northern
face to Yángshuò's gorgeous karst scenery. China
is huge and wild enough to satisfy your explorer instinct,
and is a great rollercoaster ride for anyone with a little
time and an instinct for travel.
