Imperial history

The history of China has been turbulent to say the least – unsurprisingly for such a large place and one of the world's oldest civilisations. Imperial dynasties ruled the country from 221 BC until the beginning of the 20th century. For hundreds of years, Chinese civilisation was among the most advanced cultures in the world. The Great Wall of China was built and the Terracotta Army sculpted during the Qin Dynasty. The compass was invented during the Tang Dynasty. And the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven were constructed during the Ming Dynasty. Many relics from Chinese history have been preserved and are well worth visiting. China is an ideal destination for an exceptional voyage of discovery. Experience it for yourself: book a flight to China now!

Endless possibilities

China is more than just its own history. There is a dynamic contemporary culture and you will find in the numerous metropolises a wealth of cultural entertainment, modern art, fine dining, nightlife and shopping. The list of top destinations is nearly endless ─ from the glittering entertainment mecca of Macau to the vibrant metropolis of Hong Kong, and from the multifaceted world city of Shanghai to beautiful Kunming, the City of Eternal Spring. Then there is the incomparable Chinese cuisine: enjoy noodles and Peking Duck in Beijing or taste the famous spicy Sichuan cuisine in and around Chengdu. Drink silky smooth milk tea in Hong Kong and sip the famous green Longjing tea in Hangzhou. Despite their somewhat busy nature, Chinese people are very good at relaxing. Tai Chi is practiced in parks in the early mornings and massages or group meditation are available everywhere. In short, there is a great deal to see, experience and learn in China. It doesn’t really matter where you start, as long as you do.
