China - a country waiting to be explored by the independent traveler.
It has dramatic natural scenery with flowing and twisting rivers
such as the Yangtse river with its three gorges and the calm
Li river with limestone pinnacles that sprout along its banks at
Yangshuo (Guilin district). Its monuments are built on an extravagant
scale such as The Tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang and the adjacent
underground vault containing the army of terracotta warriors near
Xian, the forbidden city in Beijing covering 720,000 square metres
and, of course, The Great Wall of China.
Travel on the chinese railways gives a unique insight into the way
of life and a great way to view the country's scenic beauty.
