Hiking in China

There are few places in the world as fascinating and overwhelming as China. It is the  most populated country on Earth, boasting one of the oldest and richest civilisations. As one of the world’s most geographically varied and largest countries in the world, China offers wonderful hiking opportunities. The Tiger Leaping Gorge, in Yunnan, is one of the best hikes, not for the faint-hearted! The beautiful landscapes of the Li-River region and the mist-enshrouded granite peaks of Huangshan are another great trekking option, or a cruise through the Yangtze River’s breathtaking Three Gorges. The Yading Nature Reserve, takes you on a Tibetan pilgrimage route around spectacular peaks. These are just a few great treks, but the options are endless! There is no shortage of options in this magic land for outdoor enthusiasts, from the deserts of Mongolia to the spectacular lakes or impressive mountains of Tibet, the beautiful green rice fields or magic forests of bamboo. If you have enough time, don’t miss out on a visit to some of the the main tourist highlights: the spectacular Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, the Forbidden City and the Yangzi gorges
