About

Why Visit China?

China is one of the world's most ancient, vast, and fascinating civilisations — a country that has been continuously inhabitated, continuously inventive, and continuously surprising for five millennia. The Great Wall stretches 21,196km across northern China. The Forbidden City in Beijing contains 9,999 rooms. The Li River between Guilin and Yangshuo flows through a landscape of karst peaks that has inspired Chinese painting for two thousand years. Xi'an's Terracotta Army guards the tomb of the first emperor. Shanghai's Bund is one of the world's greatest urban waterfronts. The karst landscapes of Zhangjiajie inspired James Cameron's Avatar. Tibet's monasteries and high-altitude plateau represent one of the world's most extraordinary cultural landscapes. For Indian travellers, China is a complex but deeply rewarding destination — e-visa eligible, well connected, and endlessly surprising.
