Welcome to China , the ultimate paradox of ancient and modern, diverse and unified. The pace of development is staggering in fast-paced modern cities like Beijing and Shanghai , yet the influence of over three thousand years of culture and history is not forgotten in the midst of modern life. Both in and outside of the cities, Chinese people carry on customs and traditions that have been passed down for generations, and often times, these traditions change from region to region, and sometimes from town to town. In addition to culture and history, China has landscapes to stun the most sophisticated adventurer. In the west, mountains lead the way up onto the Tibetan plateau, a mix of snowcapped (and sacred) peaks, high grasslands, and vast deserts. A band of Karst landscape makes the Southwest a rugged and mysterious place to trek. Great rivers run from the western highlands to the eastern seaboard.

At WildChina, we take you to the heart of this country and its people. What is often inaccessible to the average travel, we have the knowledge to bring to you through customized journeys and programs. Trek through terraced rice fields and spending your evenings dancing with local villagers, stand before the vast Terracotta Soldier army created over 2000 years ago by China 's first emperor, or make a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash , one of the holiest Tibetan mountains.

When you travel with WildChina, the possibilities are endless.
