Country Overview

See Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist temples; hike through majestic uplands; visit vibrant markets; bike with the locals; drink tea. China has the largest population in the world, and is the third biggest country in terms of landmass - which is divided into 22 provinces, five autonomous regions and numerous islands. It is a stupendous nation of soaring mountains, magnificent rivers, patchwork rice fields and seemingly endless plains. Its hostels provide a network around the western part of the country and take in Guangdong province, from the scenic splendours of Zhaoqing to the temples of Guangzhou; Yunan province, with the Naxi folk traditions of Li Jiang and the glories of Kunming; Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where Guilin is set on the picturesque Li River; Shanghai, with its famous Temple of Jade Buddha and its striking modern architecture; and of course Beijing, which boasts the Temple of Heaven, the imperial Forbidden City, and the Great Wall among its host of attractions
