China
Introduction
Over the last five years, China has been consistently our most popular challenge destination, and it's easy to see why. A vast, spectacular, beautiful country of contrasts in landscape, climate and culture; the world's most ancient traditions wedded to the world's brightest economic future; a land of a thousand million souls, where peaceful rice fields and monastery villages exist alongside buzzing ultramodern mega-cities. In short, a magical destination of memorable images and thrilling experiences.
Don't miss
- The imperial glory of Beijing & Xian, from the Forbidden City to the Terracotta Army
- The vibrant metropolises of Hong Kong and Shanghai
- The breathtaking 7000km-long Great Wall of China
Get to the heart of China and discover more of this great nation on a Kuoni charity challenge. We have 10 China treks currently planned for various charities in 2006, and several more in the pipeline for 2007. On most, you can leave the tourists far behind, and add an extra dimension to your trip by staying in unspoilt villages and meeting local people, learning about provincial customs, enjoying exotic delicacies and walking the remotest sections of the Great Wall that only a privileged few get to see.
Challenge Grade: Moderate (see DESTINATIONS homepage for full explanation)
