China Holidays
asia
Undoubted highlights include Beijing’s iconic Forbidden City, the elegant Summer Palace and the awe-inspiring Great Wall of China, alongside Xian’s vast Terracotta Army. These remarkable sites bring China’s imperial past vividly to life and remain some of the most impressive historical landmarks on Earth.
China’s natural beauty is equally captivating. Cruise along the mighty Yangtze River through the dramatic Three Gorges, explore the ethereal karst landscapes of Guilin and Yangshuo, or venture west to Yunnan, where soaring mountains, ancient towns and the spectacular Tiger Leaping Gorge await.
Trailfinders offer a range of China holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand experience. Whether you want to explore China with your own private guides and drivers, on a sociable small group tour or on a stopover en route to another destination - they are the perfect people to ask.

China Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Abbi Harris
When visiting Shanghai, make sure you have enough time for a day trip to the picturesque city of Suzhou. Renowned for its canals, bridges and classical gardens, hop on a boat to explore the canals or discover the charming cobbled streets on foot.
Peter Hruska
The city is world-famous for its Terracotta Warriors but Xian's old city is also home to one of China's biggest Muslim communities. Its narrow lanes are filled with great little local restaurants serving traditional Muslim meals that you won't find in most other places in China. Try the freshly baked rolls stuffed with lamb or the mutton soup with flatbread.
Siobhan Blest
Throw your preconception of Chinese food out of the window and be ready to explore a whole new range of cuisine, bursting with spice and flavour. For real spicy food lovers, don’t miss the dumplings from the Sichuan region, served swimming in spicy chilli oil, they are heaven.
