Guide to China

Over the past century China has experienced sweeping political and social changes, including the return of both Hong Kong and Macau to Chinese rule. Hong Kong was handed back by the British to Chinese rule when it became a Special Administrative Region of China on July 1, 1997 and Macau followed suit on December 20, 1999. Mean­while the country rushes to modernise, and has thrown open the doors of welcome at a growing list of hundreds of uniquely different tourist centres dotted throughout the nation.

"...And the winner is... Beijing!" With these five words Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the International Olympic Committee cemented the long-term future of China as one of Asia's, indeed one of the world's, top tourist attractions and must-see destinations.

Capitals & Major Centres
Beijing, to the north, is the capital of China, and is hosting the Summer Olympics of 2008. It is the centre of Government and a cosmopoli­tan show­case with plenty for visitors to see and do. Also to the North there's Chengde (Jehol), the site of the Mountain Resort used as a summer escape centuries ago by the Qing Emperors. The city of Shenyang is the capital of Liaoning Province; Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province and Jinan, is the Shandong provincial capital.

Weifang, a major city in the northern regions is famed for its traditional handicrafts, while Taoist temples abound in both Qingdao and Laoshan. Qufu attracts many tourists keen to visit the birthplace of the renowned Chinese philosopher Confucius.

Though Beijing is the capital of China, it's Shanghai, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, that carries the title of China's most populated city with almost 14 million residents. Shanghai adjoins Jiangsu to the north and Zhejiang Province to the south. Also in the region you'll find Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, and the ancient city of Luoyang.

Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, in the Wei River Valley, is another important site in Chinese history while Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, stretches along both sides of the fast-flowing Yellow River.

Historically the vast Qinghai Province was an important Chinese trading centre and its capital, Xining, is on most contemporary tourist trade routes, as is Lhasa, the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region, famous for its Potala Palace.
