Destination: China

LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL GUIDEBOOK INFORMATION

Getting Started

From low-cost independent exploration to comfortable tours, China can offer a sometimes bewildering choice of travel options. As the land is so vast, visitors to China need to take a long and hard look at the map, and decide exactly what it is that they want their China experience to be. The only part of China you will need to carefully plan is travel to Tibet, as bureaucratic obstacles, travel restrictions and health issues will require your consideration and attention.
