China is a vast land, with a climate ranging from tropical to subarctic. It is a demographic behemoth, with the world’s largest population and a staggering diversity of cultures and languages. It is the world’s oldest continuous civilization, with a rich history spanning millennia and endless potential for the future. It is one of the most fascinating countries in the world, and a traveler’s dream with some of humanity’s most recognisable and beloved landmarks (the Great Wall of China, of course, topping the list). With short-term visa-free stays available in a growing number of cities (for up to 144 hours in some cases), there has never been a better time to visit and try to tame the indomitable Red Dragon.
Peking fortsätter att växa, huvudstaden har bevittnat framträdandet av fler och högre byggnader, nya restauranger och nattklubbar. Ändå har staden samtidigt lyckats behålla sin individuella charm. Små tehus på bakgårdar, traditionella tygaffärer, gamla tempel och bullriga gaturestauranger gör denna stad speciell.
