Top Holiday Destinations in China
Museums and historical landmarks top the list of must-sees on Shanghai holidays
Shanghai is one of the most visited cities in China, and that's no accident. You'll find quite a bit to see and do here including the legendary Shanghai Museum and the China Art Museum. If you're looking for a more serene experience, however, you can always visit the temple and the iconic Yu Garden. Being a financial hub, the shopping opportunities are impressive as well.
Beijing holiday packages let you experience the Great Wall and so much more
When you visit Beijing, you'll find yourself in the bustling capital of China. This city is home to quite a few iconic attractions including the Great Wall of China letting you finally cross that off your bucket list. The history and culture radiating from the city are palpable hosting temples, museums and historic monuments to thousands of years of culture.
Absorb the sacred beauty of Tibet
Tibet is one of the most beautiful places on the planet where you'll find plenty to see and do. Sacred mountains and picturesque temples are available for visit, but you'll also find wide-open grasslands and lakes if you're looking for even more serenity. Just keep in mind that the entire region is at a fairly high altitude, so you'll need to prepare for that change when you visit.
Relax on one of China's top beaches with a holiday package to Sanya
Sanya is home to some of the best beaches in China where you can relax on the white sands surrounded by calm waters and towering palm trees. The water is clear blue making it an ideal spot for snorkelling and diving. When you visit, be sure to try the local tropical fruit. Seafood is also a major part of the culinary scene with many seafood restaurants using local ingredients exclusively.
Hainan holidays offer water sports, scenic trails and sacred temples
When you visit Hainan, you'll find yourself on China's southernmost island. Being an island, beaches are among the most popular attractions here, but you'll still find plenty to do further inland. Coastal visitors typically partake in fishing and watersports while inland visitors spend time around Five Finger Mountain and its scenic trails and viewpoints. Plus, you can check out several historical temples too.
Indulge in shopping, tech and amusement parks on a holiday to Shenzhen
The city of Shenzhen is most widely known for its expansive shopping opportunities and entertainment venues. The malls here are massive, but you'll also find more modest shops offering a variety of items like handmade clothing and high tech tools and toys. Amusement parks are also popular here, which makes this city particularly fun to visit if you're travelling with the whole family.
