Let us guide you in your choices and design the trip that works for you.

Once the Imperial Palace from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the Forbidden City is now the Palace Museum boasting close to 1000 buildings and covering nearly 180 acres.

BEST TIME TO VISIT:

Climate

The size of China ensures that its climate is extremely diverse, ranging from tropical in the south to sub arctic in its northern latitudes. Winter in the north, between December and March, is bitterly cold and very dry, with temperatures in Beijing dropping as low as -4ºF (-20ºC). During summer, May to August, rain falls and temperatures rise. In central China the Yangtze River valley experiences long, humid and hot summers between April and October, while in winter temperatures drop below freezing. In south China, around Guangzhou, summer brings typhoons and high temperatures between July and September.

Entry Regulations

An entry visa is required for travel to China. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the expected date of your departure from China.

Currency

The official currency is the Renminbi (RMB). The basic unit of currency is the Yuan (CNY).

Electricity

The current used in China is 220AC / 50HZ. This system may differ from the one you use at home. We suggest purchasing an adapter  to take with you.

Language

The official language in China is Mandarin along with hundreds of local dialects. Cantonese is often spoken in Guangdong Province and neighbouring areas, including Hong Kong.

Health Regulations

Vaccination certificates are not required unless coming from an infected area. For all health requirements and recommendations, travellers should check with their health authority for the most up to date information.

China is a shopper’s haven with large modern department stores carrying all of the top brands of clothing, electronics, and household items to local markets offering a much different experience and an array of interesting items. Your tours in China will include shopping at handicraft shops, specialty outlets, markets, and other locations providing opportunities to purchase, learn, and gain valuable cultural insight on items such as Jade, Pearls, Cloisonné, Silk, and more.

Cuisine

Chinese cuisine has a long history and is one of China’s cultural treasures. Local flavors and snacks and special dishes have formed according to regions, local products, climate, historical factors and eating habits. Select tour days include lunches (L) and dinners (D) at Chinese restaurants offering various local dishes.
