China is a fascinating destination for travellers, whether you're keen to uncover its history or to see how the country is changing.
This is according to Paul Bondsfield, head of marketing at Round the World Experts, who notes that China is becoming more attractive to visitors as it grows increasingly open to receiving them.
Suggesting that the Beijing Olympics has helped to encourage travellers to explore the country, he highlights that there are plenty of places to go that are off the beaten track and "beyond the big cities including the Great Wall, Xi'An City, where you can cycle the city wall, or the water village of Zhujiajiao outside Shanghai".
Rich in history, the destination holds much interest and you will be able to get to grips with its fascinating past and its emerging status as a world superpower.
A recent study by STR Global shows that Shanghai hotels saw high levels of occupancy in October, as did Beijing.
