China

Essential Health & Travel Guide

The ancient and modern coexist in China in a way few other places can replicate. Beijing, with its imperial palaces and bustling modern districts, sets the tone for a country where history and innovation collide. Marvel at iconic landmarks like the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Army in Xiโ€™an, each offering a glimpse into the countryโ€™s long and intricate past. Chinaโ€™s vastness is equally captivating, boasting diverse dialects, climates, and landscapes. From the towering karst mountains in Guilin to the sprawling deserts of Xinjiang, and from the neon-lit skylines of Shanghai to the tranquil villages along the Yangtze River, the nation promises a travel experience as varied as it is enriching. Add to that a culinary landscape that spans delicate dim sum to bold Sichuan hot pots, and China becomes a sensory adventure like no other.
