The ‘season’ed traveller goes now Spring a ride on the next plane down…but only during Spring (March-April) and autumn (September-October)

‘Savour’ faire

You probably eat more of ‘Chinese’ than Indian food in your preferred daily diet! You can’t miss Beijing Duck! Slurp in on some real noodles...

Get to work

Joust with the terracotta warriors in Shaanxi. Pay your respects to China’s answer to Mount Rushmore: the Yungang caves. Can any visit be complete without a quick run to the Great Wall? If looks could kill, Tai Shan’s mountains and rivers would be coveted by Interpol. Off-limits no more, the Forbidden City is a fruit to be beholden.

What’s the word?

Ni hao ma? Says ‘How are you’! Say thank you with a ‘Xie Xie’! The Chinese language family tree has enough members to be mutually exclusive to one another. Mandarin helps...

Keepsake Courtesies

With nearly every other souvenir ‘Made in China’, for some genuine Chinese keepsakes, pick up, say, an elegant pair of chopsticks.

Take care, though, when packing in one of those exquisite Chinese paper lanterns!
