Directline Holidays in
China
China holidays tend to divide
into two types. Traditional China holidays focus on the great historic treasures
and major cities. Most visitors want their China holidays to include incredible
attractions like the Great Wall, the Forbidden Palace and the Terracotta Army at
Xi’an. In contrast to these classic China holiday tours, recent years have seen
the growing popularity of beach holidays in China, particularly on the tropical
Chinese island of Hainan. Cheap flights to Sanya
City have opened up affordable China beach holidays in resorts like Sanya
Bay and Yalong
Bay, attracting British holidaymakers seeking an unusual tropical holiday
and year-round, warm, sunny weather.
Beijing
remains a number one China holiday destination thanks to its position as
political and cultural capital, and unforgettable historic sights like the
Forbidden City, the Great Wall and the Peking Opera. China holidays in cities
like Shanghai and Beijing will feature quality accommodation, a fantastic array
of dining experiences and unusual nightlife. Many China holidays are combined
with a trip to Hong Kong. Away from the cities, China possesses extraordinarily
diverse landscapes. You will find China holidays specialising in stunning
regions like Yunnan and the Yangtse River. Thrilling China adventure holidays
often feature the Silk Route, the Trans-Siberian Express or trekking on the
Great wall.
Holidays in Sanya
City offer the chance to experience some of the most popular beach resorts
in China. Sanya
City and the beaches on Sanya
Bay are on the south coast of tropical Hainan Island. Beach holidays around
Sanya are popular with the Chinese themselves. Regular flights into Sanya
City have made Sanya
City holidays far more accessible for British holidaymakers.

and Tiananmen Square await exploration. Other thrilling cities: Shanghai
and Hong Kong, offering colonial charm, superb shopping, distinctive regional
cuisine and a full calendar of colourful and fascinating festivals. The Great
Wall of China - one of the greatest building construction projects ever
completed, a testament to human engineering, ingenuity and endurance, and an
undoubted wonder of the world. Snaking its way thousands of miles from the
mountains of Korea to the sands of the Gobi, the wall has captivated and
astonished visitors throughout its remarkable history. The imperial glory of
Xi'an, particularly the 8,000-strong army of life-size Terracotta Warriors
assembled to protect the tomb of the first Qin emperor.
Once a place of
exile for those who had offended the Emperor, the southern city of Sanya
on Hainan Island is rapidly emerging as China’s newest beach resort.
