WHERE DO I BELONG IN CHINA?

Your heart belongs to the natural world. With its limestone mountains, beautiful rivers, and lush countryside, Yangshuo has unsurprisingly earned the nickname, “paradise under heaven.” A sleepy farming and fishing village up until the 1980’s, Yangshuo has since become a popular destination for cyclists, rock climbers and backpackers alike.

Just some of what we do in Yangshuo:

- Practice traditional Chinese cooking
- Bamboo rafting down the Li river
- Explore caves to discover mud baths and hotsprings
- Experience traditional Chinese therapies such as hotcupping

You've got a truly urban soul. Shanghai’s ultra modern hedonism, breathtaking skyline and fast paced lifestyle, make this city one of the most exciting metropolises in the world. Undoubtedly China's most cosmopolitan city, there are plenty of reminders of the West there: whether that's restaurants, shops or bars.

Just some of what we do in Shanghai:

- Visit Nanjing Road, the world's busiest shopping street
- Stroll along the Bund to admire the modern architecture
- Look out over the city in a jacuzzi on top of a skyscraper

Your home lies in the splendour and majesty of a truly historic city. Beijing is regarded as the nation’s political, cultural and economic centre and has served as the country's capital for 850 years.

Your soul belongs where traditional rural communities still survive amidst unspoiled natural scenery. Famously said to be 80% mountain, 10% water, and 10% farmland, Fujian is a geographical picture postcard province.

Your fascination with history makes Xi'an the ideal place to settle. Most-famously home to the terracotta warriors, it's a city jam-packed full of ancient sights. With temples, palaces, ancient city walls and traditional markets Xi’an is a wealth of knowledge and adventure.
