China Holidays 2012, 2013

For centuries the most advanced civilisation - bequeathing to the world the dictionary, gunpowder, printing and the compass - China is on the march again and determined to see herself restored as the Middle Kingdom.

China Holidays 2012, 2013 with Abercrombie & Kent will get you close to the contrasts of geography, people, language and the disparity between ancient and modern that give China its breath-taking variety.

From the bright lights of its cities such as Shanghai and Hong Kong to the solitude of the Taklamakan desert or the peace of rural life, holidays to China are captivating and engrossing. They offer today's traveller a journey of discovery full of magnificent temples, pagodas and monuments such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Beijing, not only a great place to view the eastern section of the Great Wall, it is the cultural and political heart of China and has the monuments, parks and palaces to prove it. For more information on these destinations, please see our Shanghai holidays, Hong Kong holidays and Beijing holidays pages.

China is home to a vast expanse of terrain ranging from snow-capped mountains and steeply terraced hillsides, to the bizarre karst scenery on a Guilin tour and the dramatic gorges of the mighty Yangzi River - a must for every luxury China holiday. See our Yangzi River cruises page for more details.

Ensure your China holiday also takes you away from the anonymous multitudes of the cities, to the slower pace and peace of village life. An old world charm is retained and little has changed over the years: houses are constructed in the same age-old way, craft and knowledge passed down from generation to generation and buffalo still plough the fields. The natural beauty of a Yunnan province tour can offer this as well as hot springs and deep virgin forests, mountain rivers and valley streams.

Whether you want to see the highlights or to delve deeper and find out more about its people, such as the Naxi of Lijiang, your luxury China Holiday in 2012, 2013 or a China Family Holiday with A&K will give you a unique insight to this intriguing country, which has no equal.

Additionally, Abercrombie & Kent's Silk Road holidays and travel with over 4,000 miles of amazing history and sights, are the perfect way to further explore this unique region.
