The ease of international travel makes today's world more
accessible than ever and yet China remains an enigma.
Explore China with us and discover some of her hidden secrets.
The Pacific Ocean makes up most of China's east coast, where
most of China’s ports, spas and holiday destinations can be found.
The central part of China remains the political and banking centre
of the country, with Beijing and Shanghai at the core. The
Northeast of China is the land of mineral resources producing
more coal than any other country and has rich deposits of iron,
uranium and many other minerals.
The Western region is the least populated area and probably least
known area of China. The north and south of Western China are
completely different worlds. The northwest region is mainly
associated with the Silk Road history. Several centuries ago,
it was one of the main gateways for caravans carrying goods to
the West. Here discover desert and semi-desert climate,
villages and towns settled by ancestors of the Oman Empire,
camels, ancient mosques and cotton fields. Towards the
southwest region lies Tibet, with gracious monks and Buddhist
temples. Green mountains, ancient temples and the peaceful,
untouched environment found here will provide welcome respite
from the hectic pace of everyday life in typical Chinese cities.
Recently a railroad was built to connect Beijing with Tibet. It
crawls and cuts through the Himalayan Mountains, so called
‘The Roof of the World’, allowing passengers to experience
views of incredible proportions.
Lastly, there is the southern part of China –comprising of
Hong Kong, Guangzhou, the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers and so
on. It contains four fifths of the country's population. This is
where the best Chinese tea is grown, and the most exotic meals
are prepared.
