China 101

China is a world in and of itself. It is a single nation the size of Europe with more climatic and cultural extremes than any other nation on the planet.

What are you looking for? Are you an urban junkie, looking for casinos, discos, malls, and fine dining? China is Beijing and Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau. Or do you want the unfamiliar, the exotic? China can be the Silk Road town of Kashgar, or the tribal people of Lijiang. Looking for nature, for adventure? China is the wildlife preserves of Tibet. Maybe you just want to find the quaint and relaxing: The days in Hangzhou, or a trip to Fujian may be in order.
