China tailor-made holidays

China holiday experts at WEXAS will tailor-make all aspects of your itinerary to create a China holiday, personal to you.

China is home to the worlds’ oldest continuous civilisation, dating back more than six thousand years, the largest population of any country and covers an immense region of changing terrain across Asia – meaning there is a vast wealth of things for the China holidaymaker to discover.

Some highlights to see in no particular order, most likely over a number of holidays, include Everest Base Camp on the Tibetan side, for which you’ll need a permit; Beijing’s Forbidden City – once the centre of the Chinese imperial world – and the ultra-modern Olympic buildings; the abandoned cities and changing landscape along the Silk Road, the ancient trading route; Hong Kong’s spectacular skyline, most impressive by night; the Great Wall at Jinshanling, one of the best preserved sections which also has some of the fewest visitors; the giant Buddhist sculptures dating from 500AD at the Yungang Caves; the Terracotta Army of 2,200 life-size warriors near Xi’an; the 71-metre tall Great Buddha at Leshan; the giant ice sculptures at Harbin’s ice festival; and the glorious beach life at Hainan.

China tailor-made holiday highlights

The Great Wall of China
Walk along this vast structure which runs from the east coast to the Gobi desert. Most visitors start at Badaling, 70 kilometres from Beijing.

Terracotta Warriors
There are 6,000 life-size statues of warriors and horses buried at in Xian. They were created by the first emperor of China, who also built the Great Wall of China and was said to have had 3000 wives and concubines.

The Forbidden City
Visit the palaces of the ancient emperors in Beijing, off-limits for 500 years but now open to all.

Yellow Mountains
Enjoy breathtaking views among the craggy, cloud-clad peaks of the sacred Huang Shan region of Anhui province, surrounded by paddy fields and villages.

Shanghai
Glimpse the future in this frenetic city, whose skyscraper skyline embodies China's drive to modernity.

Inner Mongolia
Take a tour of the vast 'grass sea' of Inner Mongolia, setting off from Hohhot. Nomads on horseback pursue their age-old lifestyle and visitors can stay in their traditional yurts.

Hong Kong
Officially handed back to China in 1997, the city remains distinct from mainland China. An eclectic mix of soaring modern skyscrapers, colonial buildings and traditional temples.
