| Overview |
China is a country of ferocious contrasts, a place where city lights brighten ancient alleyways, where natural landscapes conceal imperial monuments and where village life continues as it has for centuries. Breathe in the bustle of Hong Kong and Shanghai and escape from the crowds with a bike ride through Yangshuo and a cruise along the Yangzi. Discover these delicious contradictions on a journey from beating city to rustic countryside and back again.
