China
A vast East Asian country with an ancient civilization, offering an extraordinary range of natural and cultural sights, from ancient capitals and high plateaus to the water towns south of the Yangtze.
The People's Republic of China lies in eastern Asia, with its capital in Beijing. The terrain slopes from high in the west to low in the east, and the geography is diverse, from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, deserts and grasslands to the water towns of the Yangtze delta and tropical islands. It has a great number of World Heritage sites, with highlights including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Army, Jiuzhaigou, the Guilin landscape and the Potala Palace, and cuisine and ethnic cultures differ sharply from region to region. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for most areas; head to the north and the plateaus in summer, and to the south or the northeast for snow and ice in winter. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu are the main international gateways, and the high-speed rail network is extensive.
