China

Glimpse into an amazing history.

A China vacation is daunting: there is just so much to experience. It’s nearly impossible to absorb China’s sheer scope: peer over its vast expanse from atop the Great Wall, or feel the weight of history in the immense Tiananmen Square. There’s historic sites and dazzling modern architecture, fabulous museums, contemporary art, gorgeous scenery and an unparalleled cuisine — more than can fit in any one trip.

Introduction

China is much more diverse than the cluttered cities most people imagine. China is an incredibly dynamic place, and our China travel experts and local contacts in China can curate a trip to suit your every interest. Another way to experience the countryside and smaller towns is a Yangtze River cruise. (see more below)

Weather and Climate

As China spans across a variety of latitudinal and longitudinal markers, the climate and temperature fluctuates greatly by region. While most areas are temperate and experience familiar cold associated with winter and warmth with summer, pockets of the country are also targeted by more severe weather traits, including monsoons.

Transportation

In most major cities, public transportation is readily accessible and easy to navigate. With ever-evolving technology and rising urban populations, more Chinese cities are investing in underground metro and light rail transit systems. In more rural areas, buses and taxis are the predominant forms of transportation. Of course, we can readily arrange English speaking private guides with cars and drivers, which is recommended for efficiency and convenience.

Cuisine in China

Chinese food in America is largely westernized, and most travelers seem to find the cuisine in China somewhat unfamiliar and strange, from the chopsticks to the shared plates. China's cuisine is very diverse and complex There are various regional cuisines that are unique from one another. Some are noted to be spicy, others mild. Sweet and sour is a common taste in Shanghainese cuisine, Szechuan food is noted for its use of peppercorns and chilis. Steaming is popular in Cantonese cuisine, and western and northern regions boil dishes in a "hot pot," all with their own take on methods and recipes. Be open minded and enjoy!

More About Travel to China

Why not travel a bit off the beaten path in China? While Shanghai boasts a wealth of cultural novelties, find time to stop by Zhujiajiao, a town nearly 2,000-years old just outside the city. From a canal boat ride, you can follow the “Pearl Stream” and gaze at tea houses and ancient row dwellings that date back to the Ming Dynasty. This tranquil region south of the Changjiang River ushers visitors into a bygone era of ancient tradition within a modern paradise when you travel to China.
