Those who have seen the soaring mountains in Yunnan, the open air markets in Xinjiang, the cosmopolitan streets of Shanghai and the traditional hutongs in Beijing, know it is not surprising that China is one of the new favourite travel destinations.
In recent years, the Chinese economy has become the fastest growing in the world and captured the attention of businesses from all over the globe, making Mandarin ‘the’ language to learn. Sites such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Soldiers are sure to astound, but it is everyday China that represents the country at its best. Watch couples waltzing in the park in the shadows of some of the world's most innovative and striking buildings, while young businessmen pedal to work in suits. The sprawling east coast metropolises which push further skyward are all a world away from picturesque countryside villages. Now is the time to see China, while ancient traditions still permeate everyday life and modern influences creep in through the old city streets.
