China- The Land of Dragons & Rich Culture

China is the second most populous country in the world with over 1.4 billion population and a very rich culture and history that attracts many. Planning a holiday trip to China ensures you get to explore the best of its amazing cities including the great city of Beijing that houses the Great Wall of China, the vibrant Shanghai where one can get insights into the colonial past and fast futuristic developments, and the Yunn or Guangxi provinces, where one can be spellbound by the majestic natural beauty and enjoy trekking in the mountains. For foodies, Sichuan and Chengdu serve as a great choice for treating taste buds, and for panda sighting, visitors can head to Hangzhou on the West Lake.

Take a leisurely walk across the must-see attraction Great Wall to enjoy the splendid views around and learn about the stories of the past. Head to Tiananmen Square that is one of the largest public squares in the world to step back into history, and don’t forget to explore the nearby Forbidden City that itself is an embodiment of beautiful palaces and artwork. Peek into how modern China looks like by visiting any of the tall skyscrapers or taking a look into its nightlife at Shanghai. To enjoy the great views of the harbour and the amazing food culture, a visit to Hong Kong during your China tour is a must. Collect maximum knowledge about the local lifestyle by visiting any of the local villages or attending cooking classes, street food tours and tea ceremonies. The choices are endless, and that’s where the adept and certified agency of the UK, Virikson Holidays, steps in to serve your travel needs with ATOL-protected China luxury holiday packages.
