Making the pilgrimage

View
Tibet Unplugged

Walk the Jokhang, joining pilgrims as they prostrate themselves on this most holy of circuits. The pilgrims come from all over Tibet to celebrate their faith.

Panda spotting

Grand China

They look a little like men in suits. But when those big eyes stare you down over a piece of bamboo, you know these bears are for real. And completely awesome.

Walking the Great Wall

View
China Express

Nothing could prepare me for standing atop this 2,000 year-old wall. The feeling of history, blood, sweat, tears and imperial greatness oozes out of every brick.

China Experience

The best way to explore is by bicycle. Head to the labyrinth of hutongs to see life that's been unchanged for hundreds of years.

Countryside living

View
South China Express

Swap China's big cities for the misty karst landscapes of Yangshuo. Head out of town, by foot, bike or boat and get a taste of rural life.

Tai Chi

Grand China

The Terracotta Warriors were amazing, but my favourite memory is making friends with locals in the park and learning some tai chi moves.

Amazing Acrobatics

Iconic China

They're gravity defying, imagination blowing and live up to all the hype. Spend half the time with your eyes shut and the other with your mouth open.

Longji village-stay

View
Beijing to Hong Kong

The only way in or out is by foot, hiking along the 'Dragon's backbone' of huge rice terraces. Spend the night as guests in a colourful minority village.
