China holidays & tours

Holidays in China offer a window into a dramatically different world. Take one of our China holidays and discover architecture, culture, scenery and wildlife that will leave you awed. On our holidays in China you can visit the capital, Beijing, and see its iconic sights, including Tiananmen Square and The Forbidden City, a vast complex of ochre-coloured palaces, where Imperial families isolated themselves.

Our escorted tours of China include a visit to Xian, where the Terracotta Warriors guard the Tomb of the First Emperor. Our China tours also reveal spectacularly beautiful river scenery, at Guilin and the vast Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze. And our China tours can also include a hike along the Great Wall or a visit to the Panda Research Centre in Chengdu, where China’s most famous animal is protected.
