Culture
Tracking back thousands of years ago, Chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world. Family is a huge component of Chinese life and it’s not unusual for many generations to live in one home. Chinese are known for their traditional medical practices, as well as their commitment to celebrating traditional festivities, such as Chinese New Year and Spring Festival.
Best time to visit
Due to the country’s vast size, it’s possible to visit the country year-round. Nonetheless, spring and autumn are deemed the most desirable months to visit. March - May (spring) will kick-off explosions of colour, blooming flowers and sublime weather. From September - October (autumn), you’ll be able to appreciate the warm hues of autumn and fabulous weather. If you’re planning on a visit to Tibet, you’ll want to get there between April - June.

Beijing
Often said to be the beating cultural heart of the country, Beijing paves the way of the future while still preserving its history through the magnificent Forbidden City, temples and enchanting ancient alleys. Not to mention, the famous Great Wall is only a 1-2 hour drive away from downtown. You won’t go hungry here either, with amazing amounts of dining options lining the streets.
