About China
A colossal country in every sense of the word. China is truly vast, home to over 1.4 billion people and a staggering landscape that encompasses jagged mountains, emerald-green rice terraces, sprawling deserts and tumbling canyon gorges.
Skyscraper-filled cities such as Beijing and Shanghai showcase a ceaseless thirst for modernity, but don’t think that China’s heritage and history are forgotten relics. In the world’s oldest continuous civilisation, you’ll find century-old monasteries and castles, elegant colonial architecture and staggering wonders including the mighty Terracotta Army and Great Wall.
Join our small group China tours and enjoy this ancient country’s millennia-spanning history, high-tech cities, remote rural villages and jaw-dropping scenery.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you need a visa to travel to China?All foreign nationals visiting mainland China are required to apply for an entry visa through the Chinese Embassy or Consulate-General.
- Is China safe?China is considered a safe country and violence is rare. The main threat travellers need to be wary of is pickpocketing. Thefts often take place on buses and trains, so personal possessions should be kept close to hand. Scams are also common in China. Be especially careful when buying unpriced goods, and double-check any cash you receive from vendors (there’s a lot of counterfeit bills in circulation). Travellers are also advised to be cautious when crossing roads — motorists often disregard pedestrians’ right of way on marked crossings, and vehicles are even allowed to turn in to or out of the road when traffic lights are green.
- When is the best time to visit China?As you might expect from a country so huge, China’s climate is highly varied. Overall, the best time to visit China is spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) when temperatures are most likely to be warm and pleasant. The weather in summer (June-August) can be stifling, while winter (November-March) is often incredibly cold — especially in northern parts of the country.
