China is a wonderful mix of varied landscapes, vast coastline, vibrant culture, modern architecture, and iconic ancient sites. Here are our 6 must-see heritage sites when in China.

📍 The Great Wall of China - Constructed from the 7th Century BC, the famous fortification known as the Great Wall stretches across 5,000 miles of China's northern border, earning its worthy place among the 7 wonders of the world!

📍Jiuzhaigou Valley National Park - This wholly unique natural wonderland is home to beautiful blue lakes, ancient verdant forests, cascading waterfalls and nine Tibetan and Qiang villages. The multicolored 'Five Flower Lake' is a particularly enchanting sight.

📍The Leshan Giant Buddha - With claims to being the largest & tallest Buddha on the planet, the title 'Giant' is certainly apt. At 71-metres high, the sitting Buddha Maitreya was carved from the red sandstone cliff, where the Dadu & Min rivers meet, between the years 713 and 803. It is certainly a remarkable marvel!

📍Sichuan Panda Sanctuary - This is a very important network of research centers & sanctuaries in the Sichuan mountains which is home to over 30% of the world's highly endangered Giant panda population. This is the best way to see China's national treasure, the iconic Giant Panda while contributing to the conservation efforts of the sanctuaries.

📍Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor - Discovered in 1974, one of the world's most important archaeological finds was built over 38 years, from 246 to 208 BC. Thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers, horses, chariots and weapons flank burial tombs across more than 56 square kilometers, including the tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi, China's first emperor.

📍Shilin Stone Forest - A 270 million years old otherworldly landscape of stone and unique karst formations spanning more than 300 square kilometers across Shilin. The sublime landscape of limestone jutting upward, punctuated by flurries of greenery, is a remarkable sight to behold!
