China is a whole world, a world of revolutionary innovations, of majestic monuments, of contrasts, of a people with a millennial history. It is the country that created a bridge between Asian, European and African countries, contributing to the material and spiritual exchanges between East and West through the famous Silk Road, 2000 years ago. China is one of the most significant civilizations in the world, along with Egypt, Mesopotamia and India. From the hilly relief to the highest mountain ranges in the Himalayas, from the Tibetan Plateau and the Great Plain of China crossed by the Yellow River to the arid areas of the Takli Makan and Gobi Deserts, China offers an astonishing diversity of landforms and vestiges of an ancient civilization.
The charm of a great far-eastern civilization, the prestige of the mysterious millennial history of China, the picturesque landscapes and settlements attract tourists from all the meridians. Arriving in China, visitors find that its beauty and exoticism exceed even the most wonderful dreams. The Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China, the Terracotta Army deserve to be seen at least once in a lifetime.
