One of the premier Far East holiday destinations is China. This vast country is a melting-pot of cultural and historical diversity that spans a region of the globe that is so magnificent that you simply must experience it first-hand.
Travel to, and within, China will vary depending on the region you are heading to. Major cities will have all of the amenities of home, with accommodation ranging from simple hotels to luxury stays. Car rentals, railways, subways … all are means of transportation that are readily available in all the major hubs. However, the more rural areas will require some planning in advance, as the countryside of China can range from the high-tech metropolis of the city to back-woods farm areas where the only means of transportation for most locals is their own two feet.
You will require a visa to travel to China as a UK citizen or resident. You can find the relevant information at their embassy website at http://www.chinese-embassy.org.uk/eng/. Be prepared to provide a detailed itinerary for your trip, as this can vary the result of your visa. If you require a Business Visa you will need to get an up to date HIV test certifcate
China is a diverse nation. There are literally so many destinations that it would be impossible to pack them all into one Far East holiday trip. Coming back more than once over the years is ideal, as there are not only historical landmarks to see, but experiencing the cultural lifestyle of this country is beyond words. From cruises to walkabouts, to week-long stays at 6 star resorts, there is no limit to the variety of experiences to choose from.
