Attraction Guide

Comprehensive guide and essential information

China boasts one of the world's richest and most diverse collections of cultural relics and natural landscapes. With vast territory and varied landforms stretching across thousands of kilometres, together with a 5,000-year civilisation, it delivers unique natural scenery and time-honoured historic sites.

China is home to a large number of World Cultural Heritage, World Natural Heritage and Mixed Heritage sites. Here you will find imperial capitals, ancient temples, the mighty Great Wall, serene mountain landscapes, Danxia landforms, snow-capped highlands and desert frontiers. Unlike destinations offering only single-type scenery, China enables one-stop experiences including sightseeing, historical study tours and in-depth cultural exploration.

Whether you are visiting China for the first time to see iconic landmarks, or a culture enthusiast eager to trace ancient civilisations, you can find immersive, bespoke travel experiences. Among our signature offerings is the Silk Road train journey, our premium long-distance tour that links key sites along the ancient Silk Road. It is the top choice for international travellers who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of civilisations in northwest China.

Core Highlights of China's Attractions

  • World-class heritage resources: China has some of the planet's most extensive World Heritage sites, with well-preserved relics and clear historical narratives, offering highly recognisable scenery combining nature and human civilisation.
  • Full spectrum of landscapes: The country features soft water towns in the south, ancient imperial heartlands in central China, Gobi deserts of the Silk Road in the northwest, snow mountain sanctuaries in the southwest and forested mountain passes of the Great Wall in the north. Scenery changes dramatically with seasons, bringing rich and layered travel experiences.
  • Exclusive millennia-old oriental cultural system: China preserves four major cultural threads: imperial palace civilisation, ancient Buddhist architecture, Silk Road trade heritage and intangible folk customs, making it the prime destination for international visitors to explore eastern civilisation.
  • The Great Wall: China's most expansive and magnificent landmark attraction. It spans 15 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across northern China, with a total length exceeding 21,000 kilometres. As one of the greatest man-made wonders on Earth, the Great Wall stands as the national symbol of China and remains an unmissable icon for every visitor.
  • Well-structured travel options: Tailored experiences are available for first-time sightseers and seasoned cultural explorers alike, with clear itineraries and diverse experiences.
  • Exclusive long-distance themed tours: Our signature Silk Road train journey offers one-stop immersive exploration along the full length of the ancient Silk Road.
