Scenery in Mainland China

A vertiginous mega-city of stacked bridges and cliffside towers, and the gateway to Yangtze cruises.

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

The Venice of the East, laced with canals, whitewashed water towns and exquisite classical gardens.

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.
