A trip to China is a great opportunityvisit a magnificent country, an unshakable and primordial world, in which there are literally everything: amazing nature and sophisticated beauty of cities, majestic architectural structures and historical monuments. There are picturesque mountains and plains, lowlands, beaches and ports, marvelous caves and swift mountain rivers. You can visit China's most beautiful waterfalls and monasteries (including the famous Shaolin), but most importantly, understand the deep philosophy that pervades almost everything here.
Things to do?
To travel to China - what can bemore interesting? This is not a traditional vacation on sunny beaches, not a trip for skiing, and not an opportunity to visit health resorts .... Rest in China - it's all at once - and something completely different from other types of recreation. Here you can take part in a wonderful hunt in the forests of the Great Khingan Ridge, or you can watch the equestrian competitions. In winter, ice sculpture festivals or ice skating and skiing will be an excellent entertainment. History lovers will be able to appreciate the beauty of the ancient Silk Road at its three most important points: Mount Emei, Sanxia Canyon (Yangtze River) and a remarkable reserve called Jiuzhaigou.
Holiday in China will be remembered by the scent of scoresvarieties of real tea, tender sensuality of the touch of fine Chinese silk, awareness of the greatness of the Great Wall of China and the incredible taste of traditional delicacies. The last point of the "excursion program" is worth paying the most attention: a duck in Beijing, a little smoked and fried in aromatic vegetable oil, soaked beforehand in an acute soy sauce and tinted in this way in an appetizing bright red color it stands.
If you are afraid of frosts - in the northwest of China(beyond the Great Khingan Ridge) should not be ridden. There, the temperature can sometimes drop to minus 30 degrees Celsius. The best option is a trip to the "Russian" city of Harbin with its ice sculpture festivals or to Beijing, where the weather conditions are similar to the Russians, and the snow falls beautifully adorns the ancient pagodas and palaces.
