Descubre la rica historia, arte y tradiciones de China
China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a vast country in East Asia and one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Its territory ranges from deserts and imposing mountains like the Himalayas to futuristic and bustling cities. With a history spanning millennia, China is a melting pot of culture, philosophy, art and a global power that has undergone a spectacular transformation in recent decades.
Feeling history under your feet as you tour one of humanity's most formidable buildings is an essential experience. Choose an area like Mutianyu, well preserved and with a cable car, or wilder sections like Jinshanling or Jiankou for a more demanding hike with fewer crowds. The views of the wall winding through the mountains are simply unforgettable.
Explore the traditional alleys of Beijing by rickshaw or on foot to discover the local life that still persists in the heart of the capital. These neighborhoods of low houses with interior courtyards offer a vision of the China of yesteryear, with its small shops, markets and the sound of daily life far from the main avenues.
Live one of the most social and fun gastronomic experiences in China. Sit around a pot of boiling broth, often divided into half mild and half spicy, and cook yourself a wide variety of meats, vegetables, tofu and noodles. It is an interactive, noisy and delicious meal, especially popular in Chengdu.
Glide gently down the waters of the Li River near Yangshuo on a bamboo raft. The landscape is spectacular, with whimsically shaped karst hills, water buffalo grazing on the banks and fishermen with cormorants. It is one of the most iconic and beautiful postcards of rural China.
Even if you don't understand the language, the visual and sound experience of Chinese opera is fascinating. With its elaborate costumes, exaggerated makeup, acrobatics and high-pitched singing, it is a unique art form. Beijing and Chengdu are good places to enjoy a show that encapsulates centuries of tradition.
Get up early and head to any public park in a Chinese city to see hundreds of people practicing Tai Chi with slow, graceful movements. Join an impromptu class or take a calligraphy lesson to fully immerse yourself in two of the most iconic and relaxing arts in Chinese culture.

Many Western websites and apps (Google, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X) are blocked. To access them, it is essential to install a VPN (Virtual Private Network) on your phone and computer *before* arriving in China.
The currency is the Yuan (CNY or RMB). Although credit cards are accepted in large hotels and restaurants, China is an increasingly mobile payment-oriented society (WeChat Pay, Alipay). Cash is useful for small businesses and rural areas, but mobile payments dominate daily life.
Most travelers require a visa to enter China, which must be obtained in advance from a Chinese embassy or consulate. However, there are short-stay visa waiver policies for certain nationalities, so it's crucial to check the specific requirements for your passport before you travel.
