China is a country that can be simply described in a few words – huge, with a long and rich history, rapidly developing and exciting. For many, a visit to this country becomes an experience of a lifetime. When visiting China, you can admire an abundance of natural and man-made beauties: traditional Chinese sampana boats in the bends of the rivers, sailing through the misty haze that shrouds the nearby hills, proud pavilions glowing in red and gold, the Great Wall of China winding along the mountain tops and disappearing somewhere far beyond the horizon, beautiful porcelain vases from many, many centuries ago... China is a treat for all your senses.

There are so many well-known tourist attractions in China and they are so scattered throughout the territory that you will probably only get to know a fraction of them on your first visit to the country. Even if you stay here for more than three weeks, you will still often have to choose only one of the options offered: either the Long River route, or the Mokao Caves, Lijiang, or the Silk Road. It is simply not humanly possible to do everything at once. China has a lot more to offer you besides the beautiful sights. Acupuncture, calligraphy and martial arts have found many fans all over the world. At local universities, you can sign up for Chinese language courses lasting just a few days or even several years. But the greatest experience you will take away from here will be meeting the locals.

Most visitors to China will confirm that Chinese food is also an experience in itself. And it doesn't matter if you're attending an official banquet or just buying noodles from a street stall, always and everywhere is the right time to experience a gourmet adventure.
