Top 5 Reasons to Go to China on Holidays

China: land of rice paddies and richly decorated temples. A country that has both intrigued and intimidated Westerners for thousands of years, and a country that will draw you in from the moment you step foot on its soil.

If you are considering taking a holiday in China, there has never been a better time than right now. The country is experiencing an economic boom like never before and is a modern nation full of massive cities and tiny villages. Here are the top five reasons to go to take your China holidays right now!

Inexpensive.
China is one of the least expensive places to take international holidays. The pound and euro are still very strong against China’s yuan, meaning your money will take you much farther in China. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy four-star hotels at 2-star prices and lavish meals for a pittance.

Amazing scenery.
China’s scenery is renowned the world over. Even those without much interest in the country have probably seen a glossy coffee table book depicting Chinese mountaintop pagodas shrouded in fog. And whether it’s the super modern neon blaze of lights along Shanghai’s riverside promenade, or the ancient hutong alleyways that are a highlight on all Beijing tours, there is scenery to delight everyone.

Modern amenities.
China is an incredibly modern country. It boasts the world’s fastest train - the Maglev - which shuttles visitors between Pudong Airport and the city centre at speeds of over 400 km per hour. There is no shortage of beautiful modern hotels, pristine airports and fancy restaurants to suit travellers.

Friendly people.
The people of China are some of the friendliest on earth. As soon as they see a foreign face, they are keen to meet you, say hello or practice their English, and they will always help out a stranger in need.

Diverse cultures.
With some 56 recognised ethnic minority groups, China is a diverse collection of different peoples and traditions. By getting out into the countryside, you can experience the rich customs and history of each unique nationality.
