China presents such a variety of landscapes that I'd find it difficult to talk about the different aspects of its geography. With over 5,000 kilometers separating its borders, there are a number of different environments for its inhabitants to experience without leaving the country. In the east, there are mainly fertile plains, mountains, and the coast. In the west, rolling plateaux, mountains, deserts and steppes. ﻿

The spectrum of Chinese landscapes: such diversity!

Truly an embodiment of their era, temples show us the customs of the populace over the centuries and enable us to understand how society was organized, what people believed, and how they lived.

Temples or the source of religion in China

It's not easy to be a responsible tourist in China! The environment here suffers like nowhere else; historic buildings are destroyed to make way for pale, concrete imitations; and the Chinese love the kind of guided tours that involve large groups of tourists being dragged from one point to another by a guide yelling into a microphone. Oh dear! Adopt a sensible approach, and make yourselves ambassadors for a different kind of tourism!

China is a country of excess: on a continental scale, its geography is the most varied in the world and its people make up a fifth of humanity. Limitless stretches of land where anything is possible, China is also a country of fantasies: during your visit to China, surpass the clichés and make up your own mind on the Middle Kingdom! A custom-made holiday in China can mean discovering the biggest metropolis in the world: Shanghai, Beijing or Hong-Kong… Your holiday will also give you the chance to see magnificent and surprising landscapes: from the Himalayan mountain range to the paddy fields of the South, via the desert of Taklamahan. Your holiday in China will also allow you to meet an outstanding populace: the Chinese have five thousand years of history. But this population is also very varied, with up to 56 different ethnic minorities! Your English guide, carefully selected by your local agency, will act as a bridge between the two cultures. Modern or authentic, unchanging or moving: up to you to decide which China you want to see with Evaneos Travel.

Fascinating, surprising, intoxicating, paradoxical, unusual: there are many adjectives you can use when trying to describe this little area of land, which is unlike any other. A trip to Honk Kong is always appealing. Beyond its current commercial and financial power and the number of Western accents you hear there (some consider it to be the New York of Asia), Hong Kong remains marked by its colonial past and its traditional Chinese identity. The must-see places to visit in Hong Kong include Victoria Peak, with the unique views it offers, Temple Street night market, the little streets in Sheung Wan (Hong Kong's historic center), the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple, Kowloon, and – the icing on the cake – the incredible Victoria Harbour. With its many theme parks and attractions of all kinds, it is also a good destination for a family holiday.
