China’s landscape is both vast and varied, from lush green mountains and sub-tropical forests to super modern mega cities such as Shanghai and Hong Kong. As China is the world’s 3rd largest country it is difficult to explore all China’s stunning landscape has to offer in one visit. The best way to take in as much of this awe inspiring landscape as possible is our ‘China and Hong Kong Landscape’ tour, which takes you from Beijing through the rural heartlands of Guilin before finishing up at Hong Kong’s Victoria Peak with its superb views over harbour out over the South China sea.
