The Stunning Three
Gorges Region
Best viewed from the Yangtze River,
the mountains, forests, waterways and
cliff faces of the Three Gorges region
in rural China combine to create the
country's most picturesque scenery.
Away from the tourist trail, a luxury river
cruise along the majestic Yangtze River
showcases ancient landscapes of epic
beauty and inspiring calm.
China's Enchanting Cities
Discover the country's lesser-known
regions and cities including Guilin, where
the stunning Li River and towering karst
mountains create dramatic scenes of
beauty. Explore the idyllic city of
Hangzhou, perched on the shores of
West Lake and encircled by terraced tea
fields. And in Suzhou, admire ancient
temples and white washed houses that
peek through an urban sprawl.
Yunnan Province
The Yunnan Province occupies an
intriguing corner of south-western China,
bordering Tibet and the countries of
Burma (Myanmar), Laos and Vietnam.
