Travelling across China by train is a wonderful opportunity to experience first hand the enormous contrasts of this fascinating and exciting country.

China is forever linked to its ancient civilization, friendly people, and many of the world’s most revered treasures, such as The Great Wall, Terra-Cotta Warriors & Horses and the Yangtze River. Today, one can also find spectacular architecture and towering skylines in Shanghai and Beijing (site of the 2008 Summer Olympics), a wealth of luxury accommodations – and as always – exquisite cuisine.

China, with a recorded history of 5,000 years, was one of the world's earliest civilizations. China was one of the countries where economic activity first developed. As early as 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, people in the Yellow River valley had already started farming and raising livestock.

It is the third largest country in the world in terms of area. It is situated in eastern Asia on the western shore of the Pacific Ocean, with an area of 9.6 million square kilometers. China's continental coastline extends for about 18,000 kilometers, and its vast sea surface is studded with more than 5,000 islands

No other people take their food as seriously as Chinese. Authentic Chinese food is delectable in flavor and astounding in its sheer variety. With 56 ethnic minority groups contributing recipes cultivated over centuries from the farthest corners of the country, China is justifiably famous for its claim as home to the most popular cuisine in the world.

Aside from the vast array of cultural attractions, historical sites, and performances of every kind, China offers a dazzling range of shopping experiences - from traditional handicrafts to fake antiques, along with Dadidas sports-shoes and Noth Face rucksacks.

Looking out of the train window as you travel through China you will see a vivid panorama of places and people. A holiday in China is a veritable feast of sights, sounds and tastes.
