China

This vast land which is home to over a quarter of the world’s population remains enticing and enigmatic. China’s special magic, its awesome beauty and ancient culture can now dazzle the newcomers. From Beijing, visit the Forbidden City and The Great Wall. Stand in awe at Xian where a life like battalion of 7,000 immobile Terracotta Warriors guard the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Di. The Chinese experience is a pleasure. With the increasing number of tourists discovering the pleasures of China, tailor-made holidays featuring the main centres are available from Twohigs as shown on this section.

Our Thoughts

A visit to China is an exciting and fascinating experience. Over the last decade, standards of accommodation have improved dramatically and the needs of the western traveller are well catered for. If touring during the winter months, the north, Beijing and Xian can be very cold, whilst the further south you travel, Shanghai and Hong Kong are milder. The majority of touring itineraries within China are very demanding and not suitable for people with walking difficulties. Days may be long with little leisure time. Flight delays or cancellations do occur. All services are provided by government agencies and itineraries, together with accommodation, can often be altered without notice.
