Touring China is more than a visual pilgrimage of its glorious past - it's China at the dawn of the 21st Century.
With an eye on the future, more Chinese are reaching out to the peoples and cultures of the West. They have opened their nation to the gaze of visitors, as more and more Westerners are touring to see this remarkable republic for themselves. This beautiful video tours the national capital of Beijing, a powerhouse tempered by parks and the magnificent Forbidden City. Make a stop in Suzhou, the Venice of the Far East, and then Hangzou and the West Lake, where Chinese newlyweds spend their honeymoon.
Marvel at the physical and historical expanse of The Great Wall, built by human muscle and stretching nearly 4,000 miles over mountains and desert. At X'ian, see the famed Clay Army of terra cotta warriors that guarded the tomb of China's first emperor. Visit Guilin, a picturesque river valley known for its artistic inspiration. Make stops in Guangzhou and Shenzhen before visiting Shanghai, a magical megalopolis known as the world's most energetic city. Finally travel to Hong Kong, one of the world's most exciting cities with the most beautiful skyline on Earth. Today, China is stepping forward to take it's place among the nations of the World.
