Western kids used to have an impression that Japan was much bigger than China, in the same way, the Chinese thought Britain was bigger than America. The actual sizes of the countries have never changed over the years, but the impression and the concepts of these nations are constantly changing.

More and more people are preparing to visit China now, a massive country with a rich mix of cultural historical sights and over 5000 years of written history recording her 1500 flourishing years leading the world’s economy and the sufferings during the last 2 centuries when the nation was declining towards becoming a colony after the powder invented for fireworks was used for guns; the compass helping the Taoists in their long journey on foot to seek enlightenment and create a better world, was used by military fleets to conquer foreign lands, herbal medicines for curing human illness were taken over by opium for destroying bodies, and the proudly invented printing and paper in this country were carrying humiliating international treaties against her after the first world war.

Nowadays, China is a very safe country to travel, observed from her history, she is very much self-content and rarely conducts wars far from her borders. No gun crime, no easy access to drugs, murder will be punished by the death penalty; traditional culture promotes faithful love more than sexual indulgency; mainstream philosophy encourages the care for others over ourselves, constrain our anger and tolerate others’ aggression to the maximum degree, although it is hard to change the aggressive perception which sees everything as a potential threat.

China possesses a variety of contrasting landscapes from towering mountains to mighty rivers, sophisticated modern cities to primitive timeless villages, we can offer you a unique holiday experience by involving you with some cultural activities. For Chinese martial arts fans, our trips not only take you to see those famous martial arts birth places: Shaolin Temple, Chen Village, Emei Mountain and Wutan Mountain, but also let you join their training. These trips are also packed with fun activities, such as practising calligraphy, trying Chinese music instruments, doing cooking, learning dancing, visiting theatres and arts schools, etc
