Nature in Mainland China

Laid-back capital of Sichuan, famed for giant pandas, fiery hotpot and unhurried teahouse living.

A poet's paradise of misty West Lake, arched bridges and terraced tea hills on the city's edge.

Dreamlike karst peaks rise over the Li River, a landscape printed on China's twenty-yuan note.

Towering sandstone pillars pierce the clouds, the otherworldly scenery that inspired the floating mountains of Avatar.
