China & Tibet

China is one of the great undiscovered destinations of the world. Decades of official discouragement of visits beyond the major tourist sights has meant that so many of the fabulous treasures of this amazing country remain practically unknown in the west. This is changing as China becomes an ever greater player in the world, and journeys by rail are some of the best ways to see the highlights and hidden corners of this endlessly fascinating country. From the bustle and glitz of Hong Kong to the awesome desolation of Tibet, China holds a huge variety of sights and scenery.
