About the Destination
China, the most populous country in the world and one of the largest by area, has made a smooth transition from being a traditional society to being a global superpower to reckon with. Officially known as the People’s Republic of China, China is an East Asian country and Beijing is the capital city. Beijing has evolved from being just a capital city to one of the most powerful cities in the world. China is no stranger to fame and glory as the Chinese civilization is among the world’s first civilizations. Even in ancient times, the Chinese had advanced political and diplomatic systems and since then has been a very important centre for science, arts, technology, and innovation. All these are quite evident from the super cities of China and can be explored on your China package.
Such is the length and depth of China’s legacy that archaeologists believe that the early human ancestors-hominids inhabited the region between 2.24 million and 250,000 years ago. The Chinese writing system developed around 7th-millennium BCE. China, through the centuries, has been ruled by many dynasties, the earliest one being the Xia dynasty. These imperial dynasties were patrons of the arts, science, and culture and under them, the Chinese heritage flourished. The dynastic rule was overthrown when The People’s Republic of China came into being on 21 September 1949. Apart from being the manufacturing hub of the world, agriculture is one of the main occupations of the Chinese and it has been the largest producer of rice, wheat, tomatoes, brinjal, grapes, watermelon, and spinach in the world. All these different facets make a China trip package very lucrative for tourists. In order to have one of the best China tours, you can check out our thoughtfully designed China holiday packages.

The Great Wall of China:
This man-made great wall, built over many centuries and by different dynasties is perhaps the most famous destination in a China holiday package. This wonder of the world is a staggering 6000 km in length. The beauty of this wall doesn’t lie in the sheer length of the wall, but the architectural complexity and the perseverance of the Chinese people. And it is the only monument that is visible from outer space. All the more reason to visit the Great Wall of China. China holiday packages are incomplete without this place.
Terracotta Army:
A giant 8000-strong army, frozen in time, is bound to leave you speechless. It is as if witnessing a parade of immovable statues. The Terracotta Army is a tribute to the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is believed to be done as a part of funeral rites when the emperor was laid to rest. This fascinating site is located in the Shaanxi province of China. These terracotta soldiers remained hidden for 2000 years when they were discovered by chance by Chinese farmers. When searching for China tour packages, make sure they have included this place.
The Forbidden City and The Imperial Palace:
The Forbidden City is perhaps Beijing’s best kept secret and a must-see inclusion in your China tour package. This huge complex was built over many centuries and by many ruling dynasties. Such was the aura and guardedness of this place that only royal dignitaries, royal families, and their courtesans were allowed inside. The palace complex served as a private residence to as many as 24 emperors. The five white marble Golden River Bridges, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Preserving Harmony and the Palace Museum are the must-see attractions of this complex. China holiday packages are incomplete without this place.
The Bund:
Once Shanghai’s most prosperous area, the Bund comes as a surprise amidst all the Chinese architecture. The area is a majestic display of colonial-style buildings and skyscrapers and has become almost synonymous with Shanghai. Just like Beijing, Shanghai is an important business destination with major global corporations having their offices here.
Li River:
The scenic beauty of this river and its surrounding areas has been a source of celebration and inspiration for many Chinese painters and poets through the ages. Sloping hills and hillocks, quaint villages, lush bamboo plantations, and striking cliffs make it a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. A cruise on the Li River is an ideal way to soak up the sights and enjoy the abundance of natural beauty. And for nothing has the Li River been named as one of the 'World's Top Ten Watery Wonders' by the National Geographic Magazine. The Li River cruise is perfect for China group tours.
Best Time to Visit China
Although China has many climatic zones, generally, the ideal time to visit this gorgeous country is from March to May and from September to early November when the temperatures are pleasant and make for a great China travel package.
