The Silk Road is a collection of several ancient trade routes that linked Roman Empire in the west with the imperial court of China in the East. Before the discovery of the sea route to India, the Silk Road was the most important connection between the Orient and the West which still remains its charm to people. The routes played a vital role in the development of the great civilizations of China and other nearby countries, and helped shape the foundations for the modern world. When you are planning to travel there, a guide to the history of the Silk Road is needed, which will make your understanding of its culture and significants deeper.
The ancient route started at Luoyang and Xi’an, the capitals of Tang Dynasty, reached the Yellow River at Lanzhou, then skirted westward through the Hexi Corridor along with deserts and mountains before reach the oasis of Dunhuang, finally headed to Xinjiang crossing Turpan, Hotan, Yarkand, and Kashgar. Walking through Xinjiang, brave ancient merchants and traveler could go eastward continuously until they arrive at Rome. For hundreds of years the dusty caravan roads were traveled by merchants: silk was carried westward, while wool, gold, silver exotic birds and animals were carried eastward.
With the fall of Rome, the route became unsafe. The Silk Road experienced its last great era during the period of Mongols (Yuan dynasty of China), when the entire route from China to the Mediterranean was part of one empire. At that time, Nicolo and Marco Polo traveled from Kashgar to the Far East along the southern route. The overland link quickly lost its importance as trade across the seas developed.

Great Wall, a symbol of Chinese civilization and the crystallization of wisdom of Chinese, is the longest defensive wall in the world. The magnificent Great Wall stretches approximately 6700 km and spans nine provinces of China, just like a gigantic dragon lying in northern China. As one of the world’s eight grand world wonders, Great Wall, with a history of more than 2000 years, has witnessed the up and down of the earth, yet still remaining in the world. Nowadays, Great Wall has fulfiled its historical mission and become the most popular travel destination in the world.As a Chinese saying goes, ‘He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.’ Any trip to China would be incomplete if the Great Wall tour is not on the itinerary.

Beiijing Roast Duck
Beijing Roast Duck, or Peking Duck, one of the most famous and delicious food in Beijing, is deemed to be one of the important things that must be experienced in any trip to Beijing. The duck is a variety of ducks that has been specially bred and fattened in the suburb areas of Beijing. After being drawn and cleaned, it will be pumped with air under the skin of the duck to ensure it is separated from the flesh. Then a special sauce is coated over the duck, so that it will appear as if painted a brilliant red when it is cooking, with the nickname "lacquered duck".And it will look brilliantly dark red, shining with oil and with crisp skin and tender meat. Because of its nice appearance, few people could resist the temptation of it. The history of the Beijing Roast Duck can be traced back to as early as the Yuan Dynasty (1206- 1368) when it was listed among the imperial dishes in the Complete Recipes for Dishes and Beverages.
During the Qianlong period (1736-1796), roast duck was a favorite delicacy of the upper classes. According to Recipes from the Suiyuan Garden, the famous cookbook written by the poet and gourmet Yuan Mei, " Beijing Roast Duck is prepared by revolving a young duckling on a spit in an oven. The chefs of Inspector Feng's family excel in preparing this dish." Other scholars, after dining on roast duck, were inspired to poetry. In one collection of old Beijing rhymes (Duan Zhuzhici) one of the poems reads: "Fill your plates with roast duck and suckling pig." To satisfy the growing demand for roast duck and with an eye on the profits to be made from a good name, many restaurants opened from a good name,

Who Will Be in Charge of Your China Tours
China Tours are becoming increasingly popular and a growing number of travel operators are offering China tour packages with budget rates to those who desire to explore the mystery of this ancient oriental nation. Some people try to book and design their own China tours, but find it too difficult, considering all the arrangements needed: visa application, flights, hotel reservation, entrance fees, local transport, food and so on. The best way by far is to deal with a travel company that can offer you the personal attention if you want to enjoy your travel to Beijing and everywhere else in China you want to visit. Let's think about what good China vacations should involve, apart from the personal service and customized Itinerary.
China vacations involve more than just travel to Beijing - the country and many of China's secrets that have been hidden from western eyes for so long have been open to the world in the past decade. Many Chinese vacations stop at Beijing, or perhaps include a brief visit to the Wall. Travel to Beijing is a must, with a visit to the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven. Performances in Beijing, such as Peking Opera, Acrobatics, Kungfu Show, are also worth your time, as is a delicious meal of Peking duck! If you want explore more, everybody has heard of the terracotta warriors in Xian. Chengdu is another good choice, where you can see a real live panda. Also, don't forget that China has the holy land of Tibet. You could pay a visit to Lhasa and see Mount Everest and the palaces of the Dalai Lama. All China tours should allow you to spend some time on one of China's many rivers, either to view the grand landscape of this country along the Yangtze River Cruise or to watch the cormorants that are trained to dive for fish on Li River in Guilin. A tour to Shanghai should also be included on your itinerary, along with a cruise down the Huangpu River.
The main problem with Chinese vacations is that if you want anything more than just to travel to Beijing, you can't just head off anywhere you want when you feel like it. Generally, China tours are best organized in advance with a good travel company experienced in providing you with personal and comprehensive travel service to make sure that you visit as many places as possible in the time available to you.

Highlights of China Tour
China is a destination that has simply so much to offer its visitors who often return home with unforgettable memories of this unique country. The different regions and cities of China have their own unique selection of sights and sounds that would fascinate you regardless of whether you are into nature, architecture, culture, shopping or food. To plan your China tour well and select the right tour for you, you have to figure out what you are most keen to see in your limited time there. While there can be infinite possibilities on where you can choose to tour, here are my recommendations for three must-see places.
A. Touring the majestic Great Wall of China
Great Wall is no doubt one of China’s most visited and much raved about destinations. The sheer grandeur of the longest defense wall in the world, and the fact that it was constructed over several dynasties is sure to impress you if you have not seen it up close. You can visit a number of sections of the Great Wall which have been opened to public access, each possessing its own unique scenery. The Badaling section is probably the most visited by tourists due to it being accessible via only an hour’s drive from the capital Beijing. The terrain is generally friendly for walking, while the views from the top are simply incomparable. If you are rugged and adventurous, you can take a hike between the Simitai and Jinshanling sections which also offer stunning views. However you have to overcome some rough and steep terrain.
B. Take an unforgettable Yangtze River Cruise Tour
You should take a cruise down the Yangtze River if you want to see some of the most majestic natural landscapes in China. You have a choice of cruising from Chongqing to Yichang. You will be treated to a plethora of wonderful scenery that you will not soon forget after your cruise. A Yangtze River cruise tour will not be complete without passing by the Three Gorges, which are appreciated not only for their aesthetic beauty, but also for their historical, cultural and religious background. The Three Gorges Dam is also a prominent sight that you cannot miss. To truly appreciate the Yangtze River, it is recommended that you also learn about its culture. One such opportunity would be the International Tourist Festival of Three Gorges in Chongqing in the month of June, which will be an educational and entertaining experience for visitors with its trade talks, folk art displays and performances.
C. Shanghai Tour – embrace history and modernity of China
If you want to experience urban life while having easy access to cultural and historical sites, Shanghai is the place for you. You will be impressed with the city’s eclectic blend of history and modernity, especially if you visit the following popular sights below. Showcasing the pinnacle of modern developments in the city, the Pudong area is home to two of the most impressive modern structures that you will ever see – the Oriental TV Tower and the Jinmao Tower. To revisit the city’s colourful past, what better place to tour than The Bund? Situated along the city’s waterfront, you will be fascinated by the famous row of colonial buildings which are ample reminders of a bygone era. To immerse yourself in a calm and relaxing atmosphere while admiring ancient architecture and relics, I recommend a visit to the Jade Buddha Temple. Here, you can marvel at the beauty of some notable relics including a collection of the finest jade Buddha statues.

China Flavour
What do you think when you picture China Tour? Now over though the Beijing Olympics and Shanghai Expo, China will revert to its complex mix of ancient tradition, modern competitive market, sophisticated cities and rural simplicity. A gourmet tour to China travels through the whole mix of culture via the diverse flavours of a country that few westerners really know.
An enormous country like China has a huge range of culinary traditions:
Beijing lies in the northern part of China where the staple crop is wheat and they have many more dishes based on noodles, pancakes and dumplings, instead of the rice favoured in the south. If you want to taste the genuine flavours of Beijing duck, there’s no better place to sample it than Beijing itself. A bustling city that still retains its traditional tea houses among all the sophisticated big city modernity, Beijing is also ideally placed to visit the Great Wall of China, where you could lunch on delicious traditional dishes in the shadow of this ancient wonder of the world.
Eastern China combines both these staples and is often characterised by its use of sugar to sweeten dishes as well as being famed for its red-cooking, using soy sauce to simmer meat slowly, until it takes on a reddish tinge. In a chic city like Shanghai, you can experience the most modern innovative cuisine drawing on the wealth of traditions China offers. Traditional tea ceremonies offer a glimpse into the elaborate rituals of a formal culture, where beauty and elegance are integrated into every move.To get a feel of the old China, a visit to some of the historic rural towns outside Shanghai is essential to introduce you to the world of tea houses, canals and gardens that still delight the eye and the palate.
A Cantonese seafood meal, where diners select their meal from an aquarium to ensure that their meal is as fresh as it can be is not to be missed. As well as Cantonese cuisine from southern China, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients cooked quickly in a stir fry, be sure to try the spicier Sichuan style of cooking that originated in the mountainous province of the same name. Relaxed food opportunities, such as sampling street nibbles in neighbourhood markets contrast with more formal meals at restaurants rated high in the international gourmet world.
A wealth of cuisines and traditions to explore makes a fascinating China tour. China Tour of gourmet experience will leave you relaxed, revitalised and full of new flavour!

China History
Before your travel China, you’d better to know something like China history and Chinese Culture, I am sure that will make your China travel more convenient and make you better learn Chinese people. Well, it’s known to all that China has a long history, as long as 5000 years. Now, I will give a bief introduction about China history. Hope that will be helpful.
Emperor Huang (Huangdi) is regarded as our Chinese people’s ancestor. He defeated the leader of the other tribe, Emperor Yan, and established the first country in China. So we Chinese often say ourselves: descendents of Yan and Huang.
After Emperor Huang, China went through 3 Dynasties, Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty. That was the initial stages of Chinese culture and civilization. And it is between 2070BC TO 770 BC.That was slavery society.
After Zhou Dynasty, China was broken up into many small countries. That was the famous Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. It is an important period in Chinese history because the great ancient Chinese philosopher, Confucius and the strategist Sunzi , were born in this time. Their thought and words affect Chinese people throughout 2000 years history and until now. In this period, there was another great person- Emperor Qinshihuang the first person who unified the whole country, to order to build Great Wall, established the first great empire in China with the capital in today’s Xi’an. If you have chance to make a Xian tour, you must visit the world famous terracotta warriors, which was the funerary art for him.
Qin Dynasty was established in 221BC. From then on, China entered into the feudal society. And the feudal system lasted more than 2000 years, until 1911, the father of the nation, Sunyason lead the revolution, overthrew the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China.
After Qin Dynasty, China enters to Han and Tang Dynasty. In this period, China reached the unprecedented flourish time. The prosperity of Tang Dynasty made Chinese culture and civilization broadcast to Japan, Korean, and Southeast Asia, finally formed the brilliant East Asia Civilization. In Tang Dynasty, many Japanese scholars come to learn Chinese character, culture and technique, and bring them back. That’s why many Japanese characters are same or similar to Chinese characters, and also you can find the culture similar in some way.
After Tang Dynasty, China was broken up again. In that period, there were several states existed in the territory in the same time. Later, one of the states-Mongolian tribe conquered the whole country, established Yuan Dynasty. The famous leader, Genghis Khan, is the founder of Yuan Dynasty. Many foreigners regarded him as the counterpart to Napoleon, the famous Emperor and General in Europe. Beijing became the national capital just from Yuan Dynasty. The famous local residential areas-Hutongs were build in Yuan Dynasty.
In the late of Yuan, Han people established Ming Dynasty, the famous forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the shape of the Beijing Old city were all formed in Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall in Beijing area is also built in Ming Dynasty.
In the late of Ming Dynasty, Manchuness established the latest dynasty in China, Qing Dynasty. In the end of Qing Dynasty, China went to the worst period when the feudal officials were corruptive, the life of people was suffering, and the country was weak and unstable. Besides, they also had to face the invading of alien armies. Until 1911, Dc. Sun Yat-son lead the revolution, overthrows the Qing Dynasty, ended the feudal society in China, and established the Republic of China and the party of Guomintang. Later China suffered 8 years war against Japanese Army, then 3 years inner war between Guomintang and Communist Party. In End, the Communist Party succeeded and established the People’s Republic of China. That is the present China, while Guomintang went to the Taiwan province
Emperor Huang (Huangdi) is regarded as our Chinese people’s ancestor. He defeated the leader of the other tribe, Emperor Yan, and established the first country in China. So we Chinese often say ourselves: descendents of Yan and Huang.
After Emperor Huang, China went through 3 Dynasties, Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty. That was the initial stages of Chinese culture and civilization. And it is between 2070BC TO 770 BC.That was slavery society.
After Zhou Dynasty, China was broken up into many small countries. That was the famous Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. It is an important period in Chinese history because the great ancient Chinese philosopher, Confucius and the strategist Sunzi , were born in this time. Their thought and words affect Chinese people throughout 2000 years history and until now. In this period, there was another great person- Emperor Qinshihuang the first person who unified the whole country, to order to build Great Wall, established the first great empire in China with the capital in today’s Xi’an. If you have chance to make a Xian tour, you must visit the world famous terracotta warriors, which was the funerary art for him.
Qin Dynasty was established in 221BC. From then on, China entered into the feudal society. And the feudal system lasted more than 2000 years, until 1911, the father of the nation, Sunyason lead the revolution, overthrew the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China.
After Qin Dynasty, China enters to Han and Tang Dynasty. In this period, China reached the unprecedented flourish time. The prosperity of Tang Dynasty made Chinese culture and civilization broadcast to Japan, Korean, and Southeast Asia, finally formed the brilliant East Asia Civilization. In Tang Dynasty, many Japanese scholars come to learn Chinese character, culture and technique, and bring them back. That’s why many Japanese characters are same or similar to Chinese characters, and also you can find the culture similar in some way.
After Tang Dynasty, China was broken up again. In that period, there were several states existed in the territory in the same time. Later, one of the states-Mongolian tribe conquered the whole country, established Yuan Dynasty. The famous leader, Genghis Khan, is the founder of Yuan Dynasty. Many foreigners regarded him as the counterpart to Napoleon, the famous Emperor and General in Europe. Beijing became the national capital just from Yuan Dynasty. The famous local residential areas-Hutongs were build in Yuan Dynasty.
In the late of Yuan, Han people established Ming Dynasty, the famous forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the shape of the Beijing Old city were all formed in Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall in Beijing area is also built in Ming Dynasty.
In the late of Ming Dynasty, Manchuness established the latest dynasty in China, Qing Dynasty. In the end of Qing Dynasty, China went to the worst period when the feudal officials were corruptive, the life of people was suffering, and the country was weak and unstable. Besides, they also had to face the invading of alien armies. Until 1911, Dc. Sun Yat-son lead the revolution, overthrows the Qing Dynasty, ended the feudal society in China, and established the Republic of China and the party of Guomintang. Later China suffered 8 years war against Japanese Army, then 3 years inner war between Guomintang and Communist Party. In End, the Communist Party succeeded and established the People’s Republic of China. That is the present China, while Guomintang went to the Taiwan province

Juyongguan Great Wall
The JuYongGuan Great Wall is the nearest section of the Great Wall to Beijing - a little nearer than BaDaLing that it connects to; both these sections of Great Wall protect the same natural pass through the mountains through which now passes the Badaling Expressway and a railway line. JuYongGuan rises steeply each side of a fortrified gate. There is a temple and other attractions closed by. JuYongGuan Great Wall also features some life-size Terracotta Warriors. JuYongGuan Great Wall is a pass ('guan' means 'mountain pass') through the mountains located in an 18 km long valley named GuanGou which is in ChangPing County, more than 50 km from Beijing City. JuYongGuan is one of the three greatest passes of the Great Wall of China. The other two are JiaYuGuan Pass and ShanHaiGuan Pass. JuYongGuan had many different names in the past; however, the name JuYongGuan Pass was used by more than 3 dynasties. It was first used in the Qin Dynasty when Emperor QinShiHuang gave the orders to build the Great Wall of China. Actually, JuYongGuan Great Wall actually has 2 passes, one at the south and one at the north. The south one is called "Nan Pass" (what we now call JuYongGuan) and the north one is called BaDaLing.
The Yuntai (Cloud Platform), located in the center of the pass, is actually the white marble foundation of three white pagodas. Unfortunately, the pagodas were ruined at the end of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), leaving only the rectangular foundation intact. This foundation is 9.5 meters high (31.2 feet) and has a south-to-north arch. Well-known stone carvings are on the walls and the roof of this arch. The roof is covered with the patterns of stramonium and five Buddha figures. On the walls, ten lifelike, large figures of Buddha are surrounded by many small ones as well as patterns of flowers. Four Heavenly Kings (four gods in Chinese legend who guard the country in four directions) are also engraved here. Among them, words praising the construction of the pagodas and the Mantras of the Dharani Sutra are carved out in six languages, two of which are Sanskrit and Tibetan. Owing to its historical value and elegant crafting, the Yuntai was included on the list of World Cultural Heritage in 1987.
Peach blossoms in spring, and maple leaves in autumn, make the Juyongguan Great Wall more enchanting. A visit to this area gives visitors a perspective, different from other sections of the Great Wall.
Juyongguan Tickets: CNY 32 (Nov. 1 to Mar. 31); CNY 28 (Apr. 1 to Oct. 31) Opening Hours: 08:30 to 18:00
